Description
Open, copy and write to Windows (NTFS) drives on your Mac
Plug in a USB stick, external hard drive or SSD that was formatted on Windows and macOS lets you look but not touch. NTFS Files Explorer fixes that with a simple, friendly window: see everything on the drive, copy files to your Mac, and switch on write mode to copy, rename and delete files on the drive itself.
What you can do
- Browse any NTFS drive – the app finds connected Windows drives automatically, even ones macOS has not mounted.
- Copy to your Mac – select files or folders and copy them to any folder on your Mac.
- Copy onto the drive – drag files in from Finder or use Copy Files to Drive.
- Rename and delete files on the Windows drive in write mode.
- Quick Look preview – press Space to preview photos, PDFs, videos and documents without copying them first.
- Automatic write mode – optionally turn on write access every time a drive is connected.
- Safe by default – drives open read-only until you choose write mode, and you can switch back to read-only at any time.
- Repair helper – fixes the common “drive was unplugged without ejecting” problem.
- Step-by-step setup guide built into the app.
Requirements
- macOS 13 Ventura or later
- Mac with Apple silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4 or later)
- Reading and copying to your Mac works straight away. Writing to the drive uses the free, open-source macFUSE and ntfs-3g drivers – the in-app Setup Guide walks you through installing them once.
