Tuxera NTFS for Mac 2016 RC - macOS Sierra and NTFS drives
After our visit to Apple's WWDC last week we couldn't wait but get our hands in the new macOS Sierra and start working on a release candidate of our driver Tuxera NTFS for Mac for all those developers and users who depend on our software to ensure the compatibility of their storage between Mac and Windows machines. This release candidate is available for download directly from us: https://www.tuxera.com/mac/tuxerantfs_2016-RC.dmg.
And in case you missed it, here is a piece of news that Mac users were hoping for in the release of macOS Sierra: you can use Apple's integrated Disk Utility to format NTFS volumes again. Tuxera NTFS for Mac still ships with Tuxera Disk Manager which helps you format and repair your NTFS drives in macOS Sierra, OS X El Capitan, and previous versions of OS X. In the release history page you will find a summary listing all the major changes and improvements to our NTFS driver for Mac.
As with every developer preview and beta versions released by Apple, macOS Sierra is as new to you as it is to us. We'll be listening to your feedback and suggestions for improvements and keep working towards our final release. If you are a new customer, you can visit our product page https://www.tuxera.com/products/tuxera-ntfs-for-mac to purchase the software or to download it and try it out for 15 days. If you have any questions, contact our support team at macsupport@tuxera.com.

Release: Tuxera NTFS for Mac and Tuxera Disk Manager version 2015.3
On March 1st we released a new stable version of Tuxera NTFS for Mac and its companion app Tuxera Disk Manager. By default OS X can only read files from Windows-formatted hard drives leaving the users unable to edit, copy or delete anything. Tuxera NTFS for Mac is a full read-write NTFS driver that enables your Mac to read and write NTFS-formatted drives. Tuxera Disk Manager is a companion application that lets you format, check and repair NTFS drives, thus overcoming the limitations caused by the System Integrity Protection (SIP) feature introduced in El Capitan. Tuxera NTFS for Mac and Tuxera Disk Manager work in the latest OS X - El Capitan - and are backwards compatible and run on all OS X versions starting from Tiger.
The new update (version 2015.3) is now available for download on our dedicated product page for Tuxera NTFS for Mac, or through the Updates tab in System Preferences > Tuxera NTFS for Mac if you are an existing customer. In the Release History page you will find a summary listing all the major changes and improvements to the driver:

Tuxera NTFS for Mac – Everything You Wanted to Know and More
As most of you know, Mac OS X provides limited support for Microsoft Windows NTFS formatted volumes. Out of the box, the files will be in read-only mode so you won’t be able to copy, edit or delete them. However, a lot of us use many different devices at work and at home. It can quickly become very annoying to handle huge amount of digital data that is produced every day. According to a recent survey made by Deloitte, there was a 150% increase in the so-called digital omnivores, people who own at least 3 portable devices (a smart-phone, tablet and a laptop).
Tuxera focuses on development of file system solutions that help to overcome these obstacles. Our Tuxera NTFS for Mac software is widely used by Mac users to transfer, access, edit and store media content from a variety of devices. It is crucial for us to have all updates in place so the solution is fully compatible with the newest Mac OS X versions released by Apple.
Just last week we published our Tuxera NTFS for Mac 2012.3.6 in response to a new Mac OS X 10.8.3 update. The new package includes 2 new exotic languages, Polish and Brazilian Portuguese. Our customers come from around the globe and to cater to all of them we also added multiple currencies to our online store.
