ExtFS for Mac

I purchased this program a while back, and ever since purchase, if I try to copy more than 20gb or so to a usb drive formated in ext4, my mac suddenly restarts. Tried formatting the drive with good old exfat with disk util and guess what, works perfect with no random restarts, so that leaves only the ext4 driver to blame. I would like the company to fix the software which I paid for so I can actually use it.

really like this software and am so very impressed on how it maintains it's operation even on beta versions of macOS (like macOS 11). It would get 6 stars out of 5 if it weren't for the fact that the company thinks of it's customers as thieves and puts a hefty burden on the customer with the licensing hokey pokey. 1 - awesome core operation 2 - poor use (lack thereof) of macOS keychain for remembering login 3 - login to software to validate ownership on Mac is nuts 4 - booting from external disk that you haul back and forth from work or use as your "computer" between machines means deauthorizing and authorizing all the time 5 - combine #4 with #1, #2 and #3 and this becomes highly frustrating software. Recommendation: Put this software in the Mac App Store. If not, release a free "licensing activator" in the Mac App Store that enables this software to run when it is downloaded from the site purely by virtue of the licensing activator's "in app purchase" through the Mac App Store. Down one more star, does not use system installer but instead some other bogus installer which did not come for free and thus I had to pay for it as part of my registration. Bad idea.

Worst support I ever experienced with any software or any type of product or service!! Arrogant and useless.

The software has been very good. It shows the linux partitions on the flash drives and external drives, allows me to edit them, even put custom macOS icons on them. This is an indispensable tool for anyone who deals with Linux on a regular basis from the Mac and **especially* anyone who works with Raspberry Pi single board computers or does custom firmware development for non-RTOS systems (Linux is bloated for embedded work but...) Where this product (so to speak) fails is the company's support. Trying to get an update from the company web site is a challenge unless you take a chance that the trial download is identical to the release (why do they call it trial on the disk image then?). Going to the web site and ending up here: https://www.paragon-software.com/support/update/update.html with broken images broken links (oh like the login link or the password reset system) suggests that the company may be on the skids. Calling the support number 888-347-5462 and pressing 3 for support cycles you back to the artificially cheerful highly irritating lilting female voice telling you to press 3 for support, you press three and she comes back with the same message. (gah!) To reset your password, you have to: 1 - install extFS 2 - open the "Control Panel" 3 - let the control panel stub sub-launch an app (not exactly a control panel...) 4 - click on the silhouette "Sign Up" 5 - Press "forgot password" 6 - enter your email that you used to create your "MyParagon" account 7 - Retrieve the email and click the link 8 - change the password when promoted 9 - re-login with new password If their software did not work so well, their online support would tank this review. Their software had to make up for the online tomfoolery and since this review is about the software and not the online support... the problem outlined here is only a fair warning. Frustrating support, great software and even a great friendly yet technical interface on highly technical utility software which is uncommon. Their web script people need to drop and gimme 20 but their real software engineering and QA... wow.

Works great on TN200 linux nas drive
