Sep 18, 2016 I've got installed NTFS-3G old ware that works like a charm with El Capitan with those components installed (and fstab modified) FUSE for MacOS 3.5 (updated today from 2.8) MacFuse 2.1.9 NTFS 2010.10.2 Later I take into account that I can't write at USB NTFS drive I've tried to reinstall.
Usually, when we use an external drive on Mac, we have both read and write access to it. But for a NTFS drive, we only have read access to it while using it on Mac and that makes us unable to make any changes to the NTFS drive. Under that condition, we can't copy, edit or delete anything on the NTFS drive. To solve this problem, we can use aNTFS driver for macOS, such as NTFS-3G.
NTFS-3G is an open source implementation of NTFS that includes read and write support. It uses the FUSE file system interface so that it can talk to any Unix like OS including the Mac OS X.
Does NTFS-3G support macOS High Sierra 10.13?
