Usually, when we use an external drive on Mac, we have both read and write access to it. But for a NTFS drive, we only have read access to it while using it on Mac and that makes us unable to make any changes to the NTFS drive. Under that condition, we can't copy, edit or delete anything on the NTFS drive. To solve this problem, we can use aNTFS driver for macOS, such as NTFS-3G.

In an earlier post, we discussed an issue with High Sierra blocking the 2016 release of Tuxera NTFS for Mac. With the launch of High Sierra, Apple introduced a requirement that users must manually approve any software that loads new kernel extensions. The NTFS for Mac 2018 installer now easily guides you through this process.
Ntfs 3g For Mac High Sierra 10 13What’s a kernel extension?
In plain English, the kernel is a program running at the core of macOS. The kernel has complete control over everything inside the Mac. A “kernel extension” is code that would help expand the kernel’s capabilities. In the case of Tuxera NTFS for Mac, our kernel extension expands the capability of your Mac to write, delete, and move files on Windows NTFS-formatted drives.
