Summary
My flash drive is not showing up on my Mac after plugging. Many Mac users have met the similar situation. This could be caused by the incorrect ejection when you use the disk last time. Solution of this problem will be provided here.



Plug in a external disk or USB disk to your Mac’s USB port but can not find the disk? Or the disk is not showing up? Do not worry! We can solve it with the following steps! Firstly, please install NTFS for Mac which can help you mount your USB disk normally. We can download the software from Paragon official site for free.
