Mount or unmount any volume on your Mac using the optional menu bar app in Paragon NTFS for Mac 15.Īs someone who already has too many menu bar icons, this feature seemed gratuitous at first, but I soon found myself using it often. You can also mount or eject disks from the menu bar, thanks to a helper app that works even when the main application is closed. The app includes options to enable Spotlight indexing, mount disks read-only, or disable auto-mount on a per-volume basis. There’s even a lovely color-coded space indicator like the one introduced with Mac OS X El Capitan, displaying content by Audio, Video, Apps, Images, and Other categories.

Dual-boot users also have the option to reboot into a compatible mounted Mac or Windows startup volume.

I’m happy to report version 15 restores the ability to format NTFS drives alongside the usual Mac OS Extended, exFAT, and FAT options, but the software now works as a standalone application as well.Īnd what a gorgeous app it is! The user interface is tastefully designed, with buttons for mounting, unmounting, verifying, or erasing the selected volume. NTFS for Mac 14, formatting tools were briefly exiled to System Preferences after years of working directly inside Apple’s Disk Utility. Paragon NTFS for Mac 15: Hey, good-lookin’ You are better off treating a 'smart' device as a classic 'dumb' device as it will usually allow any custom setups to work with any model/'brand device.Now available as a standalone app, Paragon NTFS for Mac 15 features a gorgeous new user interface. These 'smart' TVs are not what they are cracked up to be, nor are they safe (for your privacy, or your networked devices and tend to have a limited time limit for features & updates). Personally I would look into other options for whatever you are doing with the LG TV so that you don't need any NTFS drivers on your Mac.

Or just purchase all Seagate or all WD drives. Maybe the Paragon driver used by one (or perhaps both) have been customized in some way to make them unique. If you erase the drives yourself, then both should be using a compatible NTFS format. Maybe their proprietary apps are preventing the driver from working with their competitors' drives (I hope that is not the case, but I really don't trust companies these days).ĭid you try erasing the drives yourself since maybe from the factory they each use a slightly different allocation size or some other NTFS feature which may not be compatible between the two different apps/drivers. Have you tried completely uninstalling both proprietary apps and their drivers, rebooting, then installing just one of those proprietary apps? It is possible installing both apps may be installing both Paragon drivers which may be stepping on each others toes.
