When it comes to Windows NTFS-formatted USB drives, Macs are only built for reading. That means you can open files stored on those drives, but you can't edit, copy, move, or delete those files using your Mac. To write files, you need an add-on NTFS-driver. Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Tuxera is easy-to-use software that makes this all possible. Paragon NTFS for MacOS X is an impressive and handy low-level file system driver that has been made to overcome the incompatibility barriers between the macOS and Windows. Though macOS is capable of reading the data from NTFS partitions it does not allow you to write data on such drives by default. You can also download Tuxera NTFS for Mac. As the most affordable NTFS for Mac software in App Store, NTFS Assistant makes reading and writing NTFS drives on Mac possible and easy. You can freely edit, delete, modify all your files and also rename the folders. Hasleo NTFS for Mac is an application that resides in the Mac's status bar which helps you quickly and easily mount or unmount the NTFS drives from Mac's status bar. By default, Hasleo NTFS for Mac only lists NTFS drives. The NTFS partition might be marked as 'dirty' and the Apple NTFS driver cannot recover from that situation. Mounty will not delete anything by itself, please try to restore your files on a Windows PC using usual recovery s/w, i.e. Chkdsk command line utility or professional tools like GetDataBack for Windows.

Some questions that might come up

My NTFS disk diapppears for Desktop when using Mounty

Ntfs App For Mac

Unfortunately this is by design.
Mounty is using the Apple kernel driver. It allows read/write mount of NTFS drives only with the 'nobrowse' option. The mount point becomes hidden and disappears from Desktop and Finder menu. To make it easier to re-locate the drive I have added the 'Show in Finder' option in Mounty menu.

My USB stick will not re-mount. An alert is popping up telling me to re-attach the stick, but this doesn't help.

This can happen when the USB stick is not cleanly unmounted from the Windows PC. If you simply unplug the USB stick from PC without using the little tray icon to detach the hardware correctly, the volume will be marked as 'not cleanly unmounted'. There might be some dirty sectors left and Mac OS X will not be able to re-mount in read-write mode for that reason.

Sometimes the files are grayed out and cannot be modified anymore.

This is because the file has extended attributes, refer to the Manpage of xattr for further explanation. If you open the file path in terminal application, you can list the attributes with ls -l@ , and remove those attributes with xattr -d com-apple. , i.e.: xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo testfile.txt

Unable to re-mount in read/write mode when trying to mount Windows 10 partition

Best Ntfs For Mac

If you try to mount a Windows System partition, Mounty might fail when Hibernation feature is enabled. There is a Fast Start feature in Windows which might be enabled by default, and this is causing the drive to be locked. Within Windows running, you need to run the command powercfg /hibernate off in an admin powershell and restart Windows to disable this feature and remove the lock to enable it for Mounty. Thanks to Art Schultz pointing that out.
