Audience
Mac users, freelancers, IT admins and studios who receive Windows NTFS drives (SSD, HDD, USB) and need full read-write access, including BitLocker-encrypted drives, without formatting or a Windows PC.
About DiskBee
DiskBee is a macOS utility that adds read-write access to NTFS-formatted external drives and BitLocker-encrypted NTFS volumes. It mounts drives for use in Finder, allowing users to copy, edit, rename, move, and delete files without reformatting the disk. BitLocker volumes can be unlocked with a password or recovery key; writes remain encrypted for use with Windows. A permanent free tier supports read-only browsing and copying files off NTFS drives, while Pro enables writing and additional disk tools. The app can check NTFS structures, perform supported repairs, format drives as NTFS, test disk speed, and work with Windows-compressed files. DiskBee runs locally on Macs with macOS 15.4 or later and supports Apple silicon and Intel processors. It is intended for Mac users who exchange drives with Windows users and need to manage NTFS storage for work or personal use.
