Macbooks M*: NTFS Drives and Security Parameters (lemmy.world)

Hello everyone,

Sorry if this was previously discussed. I searched through the web and could not find a clear solution / conclusion (all too generic).

When I had an intel mac, I was able to use 3rd party apps to read, write and format NTFS drives.

Right now, I cannot do so without disabling security features, since Apple Silicon macs no longer allow the use of kext kernel extensions the same way as before. I checked FUSE stuff but it seems unstable.

Every 3rd party app I tried has the same issue. Isn't there ANY other software, program, etc that allows read/write in NTFS drives without disabling security parameters (on the boot menus)?

If it is not possible, it looks like a shortcoming for those that use more than 1 OS... I have backups in NTFS drives since I also use linux.

Any idea? Kind of bummed with this... I need to export a lot of stuff and FAT* filesystem formats do not meet the requirements as well (due to max file size).

Thank you in advance!!!!!! JS

This is probably a bit overkill and not exactly straightforward but you could set up Windows in a virtual machine and go between those. I bought a Windows 11 Pro license on Groupon for $24. Parallels was the more expensive part of the equation, but you can set up file shares between the virtual machine and physical machine, or I think even configure Parallels to just let all files in both systems be accessible to both systems.
