Upon finding out that NTFS drives were being read but i couldn't write i stumbled on a few solutions, some paid, one of them free (fuse or 3g) which is long and complex method via terminal and homebrew.
However, these seemed messy... now i found the solution which is to add to the file /etc/fstab via sudo nano in terminal
a very easy line to add was LABEL=DRIVENAME none ntfs rw,auto,nobrowse
saved it, restarted the PC and booted into macOS , I was able to write to the drive no issues..
What is the differences of doing this way? any drawbacks or negatives im missing?
If this solution works, shouldnt FUSE or 3G be deprecated?
there companies selling something that can be essentially supported by macOS natively, like from paragon software? just UI?
Sorry for many questions, just want your experiences with NTFS
Thanks!
