External drive

Hi guys,


I have an external drive that it is windows NT File System (NTFS) and in this drive I have photos that is really important to me. I'm trying to open this external drive in my MacBook Air (Version 11.2.3) M 2020 but I can't see what is inside of the drive. I can see the icon of the external drive but when I click the page is white.


Is there any way that I can open this without deleting my photos?


Please someone can help me?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

Hi,

New 2020 M1 MacBook Air with macOS 11 Big Sur can't read NFTS drives.

You need to get third party utility to read NTFS drives like Paragon Software.
