[QUOTE="apuokas, post: 1772670, member: 395796"] I had similar problem. Have 500Gb WD external drive formatted as NTFS. Was using it from Win, then migrated to mac Sierra. Installed paragon, was all right fore some time transferring files from Sierra. then one day just couldn't. Fine from Win. Did some digging, main thing is, that NTFS is not supported in macos natively. As good third party software is, it's still not 100% reliable. Only good solution I could come to was use NTFS from Win and HFS+ from mac. There are no easy/convenient ways to accesses file systems other way round. Closest would be NAS (which I started having problems with, while accessing from sierra as well). Edit: The only file system supported by both OS's is FAT32, if 4Gb file size limitation isn't bother you. [/QUOTE]
