Can macOS High Sierra write to NTFS external drives? I have updated my MacBook Pro to macOS High Sierra 10.13. I previously used Paragon NTFS but now it's not working so I uninstalled it. However I noticed I can still read and write to my external hard drive without any other app. 

Does this mean macOS High Sierra natively supports writing to NTFS external drives?
You actually can, and I just did it.

In short:


note the label of your NTFS volume.
edit /etc/fstab even if it doesn't exist, e.g. with sudo vi /etc/fstab
Add this line for every NTFS volume: LABEL="VOLUME_NAME_WITHOUT_QUOTES" none ntfs rw,auto,nobrowse
Re-plug your drive.


You will not see the drive in Finder's "Devices", because this option requires nobrowse to work, but it is mounted in /Volumes/&lt;ntfs_label&gt;
