OWC MacDrive 12 (1-User License, Download)

MacDrive 12 is a Windows solution that natively mounts, reads, and writes encrypted APFS volumes exactly the way macOS does. No hacks, no workarounds, no compromises. It delivers a true, native APFS file system driver, including full encryption support. While other solutions work around the file system rather than implementing it properly, MacDrive is built the right way from the ground up, giving you genuine, unrestricted access to every APFS volume you connect. With true native APFS support, you get everything the file system was designed to deliver: crash protection, full read/write access, and encrypted volume support, all without putting your data at risk.

Whether you're moving 4K video files between editing suites, sharing photography projects across teams, or accessing Time Machine backups from Windows, MacDrive 12 handles it all. APFS, encrypted APFS, HFS+, and even SoftRAID and Apple RAID volumes. If it's Mac formatted, MacDrive 12 reads and writes to it at full speed with complete data integrity.

No apps to launch and no interfaces to learn. Mac drives simply appear in Windows Explorer, ready to use with almost any application.

Advanced APFS Crash Protection
Other Solutions Can't Deliver
MacDrive 12 is the only Windows solution with complete APFS crash protection. When power fails or systems crash mid-write, APFS ensures your existing data stays safe - completed writes succeed while interrupted writes vanish cleanly, preventing volume corruption and eliminating recovery needs

When you need Mac disk access on Windows, you have three options: buy multiple products, use a compromised "free" solution, or get MacDrive 12. Here's why:

• HFS+ Support
• APFS Support
• APFS Encrypted Support
• RAID Support
• Crash Protection
• Time Machine Snapshots
• Disk Health Analysis
• Unified Interface
• Single Installation
• Simplified Licensing

If you regularly move drives between a Mac and a Windows PC, you've probably been through this before. You've heard exFAT is the "universal" format that both systems can read and write. So, format your drive, move some files around, and everything seems fine - until it isn't. A drive gets unplugged at the wrong moment, or a project folder comes back from a Windows edit with broken permissions, or you spend an afternoon trying to figure out why that file simply won't open correctly.

Creative Professionals
Video editors, photographers, and designers working in cross-platform environments need reliable access to Mac-formatted drives. MacDrive 12 ensures seamless workflow integration whether you're on set, in the studio, or collaborating with Mac-based teams.

IT Administrators
Manage Mac and Windows systems from a single workstation. Access Mac volumes for troubleshooting, data recovery, or file transfers without maintaining separate hardware. Simplify your support infrastructure.

Data Recovery Specialists
Full support for encrypted APFS volumes means you can access protected data when authorized and professional-grade recovery operations for HFS+ formatted Mac disks.

Production Companies
