IBoysoft Drive Manager is a professional NTFS mounter for Mac that can not only read and write to NTFS drive, but also mount and unmount FAT32 drives, exFAT drives on macOS Catalina 10.15/Mojave 10.14/High Sierra 10.13/Sierra 10.12 and Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11/Yosemite 10.10/Mavericks 10.9/Mountain Lion 10.8. Most Mac users know that the OS X has the capability to read from NTFS drives (mainly used by Windows-based systems), but can't write to them. Of course, you can always format the NTFS hard drive and use a file system that is supported by the OS X, but that isn't always a solution as you will lose all the data stored on your NTFS device. Turns out Macs don’t natively allow writing to a drive that’s formatted as NTFS (New Technology File System), which is the format that Windows uses.

By default Mac OS X has Microsoft file system NTFS read-only. OSX's default NTFS driver has the option to write to NTFS drives. For some reason, it has been disabled by default. The process to enable it is fairly technical and is not supported by Apple. OSX users are generally encouraged to use FAT32 or exFAT file systems for sharing files with Windows. However, there are proprietary software like M3 NTFS for Mac that can enable NTFS write support on macOS.
