Why do you think there’s no file permissions in NTFS?
In NTFS, each file or directory can have arbitrary access control list specifying granted and denied permissions for users and groups.
Those lists are typically inherited down the directory hierarchy, but that inheritance can be stopped.

xFAT which I already mentioned is supported and doesn't have a 4GB limitation. You can have up to 128 pebibytes (which should be enough for everybody: that's ~144 petabytes).
Until that other OS has support for the new proprietary filesystem, it won't be able to read it. Since Apple and Microsoft categorically refuse to implement any of the many featureful existing filesystems, one is stuck with archaic NTFS (with no file permissions) or FAT (with less than 4gb files) to keep data.
