NTFS is the file system that the Windows based PCs use for storing and retrieving files on HDDs and SSDs. On macOS, you can read and save NTFS files (since macOS Catalina) but you can't write them.


If you want to be able to read and write the files on both Mac and Windows, then you can format your drive to Windows-compatible formats such as MS-DOS (FAT) and ExFAT.


To know more about formats supported by macOS:

It's important to note that using third-part apps, you will have to keep them up to date with the latest version of macOS or else you might not be able to write NTFS drives.


Have a good day!
