If so, it would do exactly that.Your Mac can read NTFS drives, transferring content from the drives to another place, but it cannot write to NTFS drives.

Once it does, it would prompt you if you would like to re-mount it with write support enabled. Once it’s installed and running, it will detect for any newly mounted NTFS volumes. Instead, it simply helps you to re-mounts NTFS volumes with the write support enabled. In its own words, Mounty for NTFS is “a tiny tool to re-mount write-protected NTFS volumes under Mac OS X 10.9+ in read-write mode.” The app uses the same principle to get NTFS write support but without making configuration changes in the fstab file. Also, this is only useful if you would reconnect the same drive again and again for the write support. But editing system files like fstab which is a configuration file that contains information of all the partitions and storage devices in your computer isn’t something I’d ask just about anyone to do, lest you mess up Mac real bad.

It’s just that the write support is simply not enabled by default. The trick involves some editing the /etc/fstab file which is ok for experienced Mac OS users. So when I did a little bit of research, I came upon the fact ( source) that from OS X Mountain Lion already includes BOTH read and write support for NTFS. For me, it was with a spare work MacBook where I didn’t really want to spend too much just to get the occasional need to write into an NTFS USB stick. I never faced an issue with the Paragon’s NTFS driver on my Mac. However, there are times when you might want an alternative free NTFS write support on Mac. While it costs $19.95 for a single seat license, it is the most robust solution that I’ve found thus far. In all of them, I have recommended using Paragon NTFS for Mac. I’ve blogged quite a few times on the topic of getting full NTFS support on the Mac OS before.
