![]() ![]() So I wanted to remove them and install Fuse for OS X instead. You could then copy them to NTFS partition from Windows after processing. After I upgraded from Yosemite to El Capitan with NTFS-3G and MacFUSE installed, both programs stopped working. ![]() You might want to consider formatting most of your drive NTFS (Mac can read NTFS fine) and making a small HFS+ scratch partition (or FAT32 if you don't want to install another driver) to transfer the photos back. I use Windows HFS+ driver from HFS+ for Windows® 8/8.1 Free Edition to access HFS+ partitons and it works fine on Windows 10 and is free. It is based on NTFS-3G, the leading open source NTFS driver that is ported to numerous platforms, but also includes other software projects to build a complete toolset for managing NTFS volumes. Previously I have used NTFS (as I use Windows more) but at the moment in El Capitan there is no free NTFS driver (NTFS-3G doesn't work) so currently I'd format your drive HFS+ on OSX. NTFS-3G for OS X is a software project designed to bring NTFS read/write support to the Mac platform, along with additional advanced features. You could use FAT32 if you are sure that you'll never want to save anything bigger than 4GB (which you inevitably will at some point). Install latest NTFS-3G (2016.2.22) from Homebrew. Install latest osxfuse (3.x.x) from (you don't need MacFUSE Compatibility Layer) or from Homebrew with brew cask install osxfuse. I have had no end of problems with OS X corrupting ExFAT and having to repair (Google "osx exfat corrupted"). To enable NTFS write support on OS X 10.11 El Capitan or macOS 10.12 Sierra. Which would be best to use for external USB 2TB or 3TB hard drives, storing photos, to swap between a Windows machine and a Mac?I would definitely NOT use ExFAT.
