    • QuestionThe specs say "Downloadable NTFS driver to read / write on macOS 11+ without the need to reformat." How do I download and install the NTSF driver? I use Windows, but I need to copy files from a Mac just this one time, so I prefer not to reformat. THANKS!

      Asked by Jay.

      • Answer Hi Jay, Please be informed that you can download and install the Paragon NTFS driver for Mac that can make the windows formatted drive working on Mac. Please refer to the below mentioned link for the instruction to download and install the driver. https://support-in.wd.com/app/answers/detailweb/a_id/34871/ Moreover, We would like to inform you that we do not recommend the driver but to format the drive in Exfat for a permanent fix if you wish to use the drive on both Mac and Windows. The driver may get removed if OS gets an update but as you just need to copy from Mac one time, you can install the driver on Mac.

    • QuestionI made copies of many files from my pc to the EasyStore 1TB external drive. When I tried to move them back to my pc, most of the files are not there, and the EasyStore shows a capacity of only 32 GB. What happened and how do I fix it?

      Asked by Anonymous.

      • Answer Have you done a search for one of those files in the computer itself? Often times I have found that when that has happened to me, it's usually something in Windows messing around. Windows has all of these little file rules, permissions, etc that can make items unviewable, copy denied, etc.
