Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Can't copy or drag files to the external hard drive.

Earlier in Yosemite the files could have been copied or dragged into the hard drive. After upgrading to El Capitan, I can't do that anymore. Most of the people have suggested to re-format the hard drive, but that's not the solution. It will still not allow to copy or drag files into the hard drive.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11)

This link does not work unfortunately. But I found a free Paragon driver on Cnet http://download.cnet.com/Paragon-NTFS-for-Mac-(Yosemite)/3000-2122_4-76169564.ht ml.

It seems to be official version and free, which is surprising for Paragon, but nevertheless it solved my problem, so I am happy now

Found it on their website: http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac-yosemite/download.html


But I have El Capitan, and this version http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ works just fine for me, downloaded and installed the trial, easy as f**k 😁
