How can I read and write an ntfs drive on Mac?
Writing to NTFS is not supported by Mac natively. You have to install file system library to enable this feature. Here is one good example to let you copy files to NTFS drive on any Mac:

Let me know if you need more assistance on this.
Mounty is a lightweight macOS utility that allows users to write to NTFS-formatted drives. Since macOS natively supports only read access to NTFS drives, Mounty bridges this gap without requiring complex configurations or third-party drivers. It works by re-mounting the NTFS drive in read-write mode using macOS’s built-in NTFS support.
To write to NTFS on Mac for free with Mounty, download the application from the official website or the Mac App Store. Once installed, connect your NTFS drive to your Mac, and Mounty will automatically detect the drive and prompt you to re-mount it in read-write mode. Simply follow the on-screen instructions, and within moments, your NTFS drive will be accessible for both reading and writing. This utility is especially useful for users who frequently switch between operating systems and need a hassle-free method to manage their files on NTFS drives.
