Forma Drive
Use NTFS & ext4 drives on Mac, then back them up
Plug a Windows or Linux drive into your Mac and use it in Finder: read and write NTFS, ext4, Btrfs and XFS, with no drivers to install. New: back up folders to an external drive, a NAS or several clouds, every night or when a drive is attached, keeping old versions and checking every copy. It also shows which part of the USB-C chain (port, cable, enclosure, drive) slows a drive down, and cleans up your Mac, drives and cloud storage. One-time purchase, no subscription.
Hi Product Hunt! I'm Jingjing, the maker of Forma Drive.
I kept running into the same small annoyance: a friend hands me a drive formatted on Windows, or I pull a disk out of a Linux box, and my Mac can only look at it. Copying a file back means borrowing another computer or installing a driver that wants me to lower security settings.
Forma Drive fixes that. Plug in an NTFS, ext4, Btrfs or XFS drive, turn on access once, and copy, rename and delete files in Finder like any other drive. Along the way I added the things I wanted next to it: the real speed your cable and port negotiated (so you know if a slow copy is the cable), a safe read-only mode for drives that were not shut down cleanly, and a space view that finds big caches, including developer build files and AI coding assistant caches.
It's a one-time purchase on the Mac App Store for Apple silicon Macs on macOS 26 or later. I'd love to hear which drives and formats you use, and what you'd want it to do next.
