Comments on exFAT/NTFS for USB by Paragon for Android

★★★★★ NickLeStrange · May 12, 2026

The app works well. I've connected my 4 TB HDD to my tablet, and it successfully reads my data. I had to install the recommended Total Commander utility in order to browse and open my files as CX File Explorer doesn't have a hook into this software.

★★★★☆ David White · Mar 2, 2026

Trying it now to access NTFS formatted NVMe drive in a USB adapter. It does seem to work! I did have to use a "Y", powered OTG cable to get anywhere so be forewarned. I am already a user of the X-Plore app & the drive shows up in there & I can read/write the NTFS drive via file copy. I also see it in the native files' app. I think my A12 phone can already access exFAT natively, so I am not sure I would need the full set of features.

★★★★★ Mahdi Khawari · Mar 31, 2026

I use it for read my HDD hard disk it needs to install total commander too. These two together solve my problem for read and write in disk with my phone

★★★★★ Nick West · Jul 4, 2026

Genuinely the best app for my phones using any drives or USB drives perfectly executed thank you

★☆☆☆☆ Carl Richards · May 23, 2026

Nope, ntfs ext hdd reported by this software as not supported. Straight up glitchy software and definitely not worth paying for.

★☆☆☆☆ Jon “Rowdy” Turner · Apr 13, 2026

I want a refund! Rhodes app is not what it appears to be, and there is no refund option, unlike on other apps. This app was what I thought I could format a drive that was ntfs to exfat, so I just bought exfat. There is no format option! MONEY BACK..... NOW!

★☆☆☆☆ Jeremy Bradbury · Jun 6, 2026

DO NOT BUY!! Fails to copy to any NTFS drive I connect to my Pixel 9 Pro, even ones that work fine with the desktop app. I paid for NTFS because it seemed like maybe it was mounted read-only in the free version... But no luck... it even locked up and restarted after the purchase and required me to approve full file access again.

★☆☆☆☆ ZELLA · Jul 22, 2026

Didn't work for any of my USB drives. Full refund pls. Google play refused to refund.
