MacOS – How to read/write from/to a NTFS formatted External HDD on MacOS high Sierra

apfsexternal-diskhigh sierramacosntfs

With the introduction of APFS in MacOS high sierra I am unable to read/write from/to my external HDD which is formatted in NTFS. I need this case because I regularly switch between windows and mac and hence want to keep my HDD format as NTFS. Previously (on Sierra) I was using OSX fuse on my mac for NTFS read/write support but they haven't released any update for APFS. Any suggestions or alternatives I can use to achieve NTFS read/write on APFS?

same problem I have faced, I use WD Elements external hard drive on my MacBook Pro which is currently on 10.13.4 I have successfully installed FUSE but it did not work for me. If you use Seagate/WD Drive then you can download their version of Paragon Software which is available for free but works with their brand's drives only.
