What you get

You can add, change, and delete files on NTFS drives from your Mac.

If you connect an NTFS drive to your Mac, you can normally read its files but not change what’s on it. With iLove NTFS Pro, you can write, edit, copy, move, and delete files on those drives. You can save work back to an NTFS device rather than treating it as read-only storage.

You can also format a device as NTFS when you need that Windows file system. When you finish working, you can use the app’s Unmount command before disconnecting the device, as recommended to help protect your data.

You’ll need the paid Pro version for read/write access, erasing, mounting, and unmounting. The free version only lists connected devices, so it won’t solve your problem if you need to add or change files.

  • Save files to NTFS

    With Pro, you can copy files from your Mac onto an NTFS drive instead of only reading what’s there.

  • Change existing drive contents

    You can edit, move, and delete files on NTFS volumes with Pro.

  • Prepare NTFS storage

    You can format a device as NTFS when you need storage using that file system.

  • Unmount before disconnecting

    With Pro, you can unmount your device through the app before unplugging it to help protect your data.

Best for

  • You exchange NTFS drives with Windows users
  • You need to save changes back to an NTFS drive
  • You need to format a device as NTFS from your Mac

Skip it if

You don’t need it if you only read files from NTFS drives or never use NTFS storage.

From the developer

Microsoft NTFS is one of the main file systems for Windows. But if you are a Mac user, you may get annoyed dealing with those NTFS devices as Mac only supports reading data from NTFS devices. It does not allow you to write or delete data. Besides, you cannot format any devices to NTFS format.
