NTFS for MAC, PARAGON Software (Seagate external drives)

I was having problem after upgrading to Ventura 13.x, my NTFS FOR MAC.app would not respond and my portable Seagate drive has a mix of Windows & Apple files hooked into my home network. I hate switching software for no good reason (occasional new stuff doesn't agree with old) or paying for what should be a simple upgrade. So I dug and found THE ANSWER: https://www.seagate.com/support/software/paragon/



If you follow this link you’ll find an upgrade to use, I used “Big Sur and later” and after installing and resetting, BAM it worked! Feel free to share this upgrade info with anyone who legally owns original NTFS for MAC,That was bundled with a Seagate external HD.

Upgrading third party software is always recommended to be compatible with the current macOS...


if in doubt search the developers website or contact their: Support/Help/FAQ/Known issues/compatibility/updates/uninstaller
