Hello everyone that can help out. Since last year I upgraded to High Sierra, didn't feel like upgrading since I can no longer update any further.
okay now in 2020, in isolation have very little money, a good amount of groceries.
Deleted old hard drive converted to exfat (from mac) send it into Bootcamp, formated hard drive to NTFS. Tested a small handfull of data files (jpg, png, mov, psd, pdf, img, doc, etc). Had a hard time ejecting usb drives, weird experience: not the best solution. Booted up through mac mounted usb drive and checked thinking my files are not able to open view at all or gone forever, error message. Went back into windows and my files were just fine, nothing gone.
Did anyone run into the same issues as me, your solutions? What's your solution to NTFS read and write? Is their any cons with exfat. Also am I in the right thread or where should I post this?
The more I look into Paragon makes me weary of their software cause it is linked towards Russia plus China. Years ago I had NTFS-3G worked fine back then, which is now Tuxera. I just can't purchase it right now or if its any good especially on High Sierra?
Windows solution: open up device manager select drive name "uninstall" to eject drive.
Windows 10 message: please close windows and app before ejecting drive ("problem ejecting usb mass storage device")
Mac OSX Message: Photos or video can't open ("item "earth_landscapes.jpg" is used by mac os and can't be opened")
Possibly the best solution is formatting some usb drives to exfat for windows and others osx journaled.
I work on Both Mac and windows 10 Pro: cause of software work.
iMac specs: High Sierra v10.13.6 mid 2011 20gb, AMD 512 mb... yeah I know I need a new computer
NTFS Apps: Mounty (v1.9 (13)), OSX FUSE (v3.10.2).
Windows10 pro external drive on imac
version 1709
