Paragon extfs driver#
Linux File Systems for Windows by Paragon Software offers high-speed access to Linux file systems and supports Secure Boot protocol - there’s no need to turn off the driver when working with Linux volumes. Now you can easily access disks and partitions formatted under the most common Linux file systems directly from your Windows PC. wow.Paragon Software releases Linux File Systems for Windows. Their web script people need to drop and gimme 20 but their real software engineering and QA. the problem outlined here is only a fair warning.įrustrating support, great software and even a great friendly yet technical interface on highly technical utility software which is uncommon. Their software had to make up for the online tomfoolery and since this review is about the software and not the online support. If their software did not work so well, their online support would tank this review. (gah!)ģ - let the control panel stub sub-launch an app (not exactly a control panel.)Ħ - enter your email that you used to create your "MyParagon" accountħ - Retrieve the email and click the link Calling the support number 88 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.


With broken images broken links (oh like the login link or the password reset system) suggests that the company may be on the skids. Going to the web site and ending up here:
Paragon extfs update#
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?). Where this product (so to speak) fails is the company's support. 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.) It shows the linux partitions on the flash drives and external drives, allows me to edit them, even put custom macOS icons on them.
Paragon extfs for free#
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.ĭown 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. Recommendation: Put this software in the Mac App Store. 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. 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. 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).
