Wow, the replies here are SO not helpful... you ask about bananas and get orange answers. lol


Oct 15, 2019  In addition, iBoysoft NTFS for Mac is not only an NTFS driver but also an NTFS drive manager, helping you control the NTFS drive more efficiently. Just like Disk Utility, one of the native apps in macOS, it enables you to format, check, unmount, repair NTFS disks through a single click. Aug 17, 2016 the two you mention are the best and they don't really work. Unless you need an R/W/X NFTS solution connected directly to your Mac you should avoid NTFS for OS X and use something else like Mac Extended or EXFat if you boot to windows on that device, otherwise you are looking into a solution that is not supported by the OS and up to the developers to keep it maintained. IBoysoft NTFS for Mac is the best NTFS driver that can read and write to nTFS drives on macOS Catalina and earlier. Once it is installed, you are allowed to edit, delete, modify, rename, move files on NTFS drives. MacOS 10.14 (Mojave), macOS 10.13 (High Sierra), macOS 10.12 (Sierra) and Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan), 10.10 (Yosemite), 10.9.

Anyway, I've been using Paragon's NTFS driver, without a hiccup for ages. The build-in read only driver seems to be not only faster at reading but lighter as well, so I only use it when I need it. There is also a preferences panel for it where you can turn the driver on or off on the fly.


For me the only little inconvenience using this product is that I use the /etc/fbtab to prevent the Windoze partition from auto-mounting, so when the driver is on the disk 'loses' its GUID. If the driver is on at boot the Windoze partition will mount. I guess I could use the name for it, but it is a minor thing.


In the event of any trouble, uninstalling is quite easy and can be done using the preferences pane uninstall button or via terminal using pkgutil. I always prefer using the terminal to uninstall pkgs, as I don't like leftovers. Needless to say, extreme care should always be taken when removing files with root privileges. You can list all pkgs installed by issuing a:


pkgutil --pkgs


Then list all the files for the package (paragon's ntfs in the example below):

pkgutil --files com.paragon-software.filesystems.NTFS.pkg


As you can see below the output will show you all the files the package's install script wrote.


Ntfs

 mach [~] $ pkgutil --files com.paragon-software.filesystems.NTFS.pkg

AND SO ON....


Then you can delete them manually via Finder or using the terminal. Be careful not to break your system, please. After deleting the files and directories you can finally remove the receipt for the package:
