Paragon Software's NTFS and HFS+ for Android gives Android devices the ability to read and write storage devices formatted as NTFS or HFS+.

Android may be able to read and write FAT partitions, but it can't write to NTFS - nor can it read or write HFS+ partitions.

That's a growing problem for those using Android devices in conjunction with Windows or OS X based computers.

As thumb drive capacities increase, it makes increasing sense to format them as NTFS or HFS+, but what happens when you want to use that storage device to transfer collection of music files from Windows to an Android tablet, or from an Android-based PVR to a Mac.

Paragon Software's NTFS and HFS+ for Android fills that gap.

The free software is available from Google Play, but requires root access to the device.

According to company officials, it has been successfully beta tested by nearly 50,000 users.

The drivers provide full read/write access, and an included app allows NTFS and HFS+ partitions to be mounted like any other.

The officials claimed there is no performance degradation when transferring data, and there is no additional limit on file or partition sizes.
