Paragon’s driver technology works with almost all devices on the network. It is a plug-in for Dokan - a file system for Windows. Paragon released the Windows version of its free ExtFS tool last month. It also gives you the ability to transfer files among otherwise incompatible systems with the ease of using the OS’s already-present file manager tools. You get full read and write access to Linux-formatted partitions. Paragon’s ExtFS displays its program window (right) and the list of Windows-accessible volumes (left) on the Windows desktop before the Linux volume is mounted. Being able to run the Windows OS and access documents stored in a Linux volume on that same hard drive is a handy productivity booster. Until I found ExtFS, I had to work with several clever workarounds. The ability to cross over partitions from mobile devices and more traditional office hardware that normally do not let you see other volumes is a huge benefit. ExtFS has versions for Android, Windows, Mac, Linux and DOS. These include NTFS, FAT, Ext2/Ext3/Ext4/ and 3FS. Paragon’s UFSD technology also provides full read/write access as well as format control to volumes of the most popular file systems. When I absolutely must cross the Great Divide separating the Windows partition from Linuxland on a computer in the workplace, Paragon’s Universal File System Driver in ExtFS comes to my rescue.It grants me full access to Linux partitions while running the Windows platform. Paragon’s ExtFS is a cross-platform application that can make using Linux much easier in multiple-OS platforms.Īs much as I try to stay exclusively in the Linux OS world, every so often a work situation arises that puts the comfort zone of staying with Linux to the test.
