Tuxera NTFS for Mac now supports macOS Sierra

With the much-awaited launch of macOS Sierra, we’re pleased to announce that Tuxera NTFS for Mac 2016 is now available! Macworld has a great overview of the new features in Sierra, so be sure to check them out if you’re not quite up to speed. For us, two interesting improvements stand out. One is Sierra’s new Optimized Storage. This new feature frees up storage space on your Mac by automatically moving rarely used files to iCloud. This of course requires you to buy a subscription for iCloud storage if you need more than the free 5 GB of space you get.

Another new development is Apple File System (APFS), which starting in 2017, will replace the decades-old HFS+. APFS is scalable from Apple Watches to Mac Pros, and should bring better interoperability between all Apple products. It’s also more secure and reliable than HFS+. Although APFS won’t ship in Apple devices until next year, we’re keeping an eye on all the latest developments. 

Tuxera NTFS for Mac 2016 brings support for Windows drives to macOS Sierra

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:
