As the file system of every version of Windows from Windows 2000 onwards, NTFS is by far the most common file system in the world. In fact, most new hard drives and other storage devices come preformatted using the NTFS file system. Simply put, it's the industry standard in consumer computing, yet macOS provides very little in the way of native support for it. Those using Macintosh computers will find themselves heavily restricted when trying to connect an NTFS-formatted drive such as an external hard disk or USB pen drive. By default, for example, you cannot write any data to NTFS drives if they're connected to a device running macOS, although you should be able to still read the data. There are workarounds, but without any additional software, writing information to the drive requires you to format it using another file system. Naturally, that means deleting all the original data on the drive, which is hardly a desirable outcome.

Enjoy Native-Like Support for the NTFS File System

Although highly acclaimed for their ease of use, excellent feature sets and unrivalled security, Apple devices have long been criticized for their near total lack of interoperability with other platforms. However, thanks to Tuxera NTFS for Mac, that no longer needs to be the case.

Furthermore, the setup process couldn't be easier, and it allows you to work with drives divided into multiple logical partitions, even if all those partitions are NTFS-formatted.
