daddyQ, written in Python, monitors and logs disk usage on file servers, and take actions on excessive disk usage. Users that are often over their quota or are over the quota with excessive disk usage get their files deleted.

diskover is a file system crawler and disk space usage software that uses Elasticsearch to index your file metadata. diskover crawls and indexes your files on a local computer or remote storage server over network mounts. diskover helps manage your storage by identifying old and unused files and give better insights into data change "hotfiles", file duplication "dupes" and wasted space. It is designed to help deal with managing large amounts of data growth and provide detailed storage analytics. See GitHub for requirements and instructions on installing.

This software is a distributed replicated blob server (inspired by the google file system paper http://www.cs.rochester.edu/sosp2003/papers/p125-ghemawat.pdf ). It stores your blobs ( <=> files) on a given number of your servers.

FCachefs is read-write caching filesystem for linux ( and maybe other platforms, where FUSE has been ported ) based on FUSE and Python.

Fileboy is an open source, feature-rich, graphical file system explorer. It is mainly intended as a replacement for the Windows file explorer, but should be compatible with all other platforms that run python.

A tool for windows users, to determine the type of a file based on its content rather than it suffix.

FSMM is the "File System Monitor and Mirror". Basically, it watches for certain events on your filesystem (or on a portion of it), and calls a "Mirror Engine" that will replicate this file ASAP to some other place.

Mounts your Dropbox account as a filesystem

tag-based semantic file system, in python, over FUSE. pluggable aspects (parsing or interpretting). querying and relations between tags/items. modular architecture, allows different user-ends (fs/webdav/http/..), or backends (sql/rdf/..)

gnetmount is a GUI program (gtk) for mounting network file systems and, optionally, any other type of file system listed in fstab. It allows non-root users to easily mount or umount file systems, such as smbfs or cifs, that require authentication.

The jnios module is a complete java/JNI implementation of the builtin python modules "os" and "posix" for use with the JPython environment. jnios allows the original os.py and posixpath.py/ntpath.py/...from CPython, to run under JPython.

A sysadmin tool that maps a sector (for example a bad sector) to a filename (so you know which file got trashed). It relies on and integrates a variety of other tools such as blkid, lvm, and debugfs to chase the sector number through the layers of partitions, logical volumes, and filesystems that are part of a modern system.

EaseFilter File System Filter Driver Framework is a set of file system filter driver software development kit which includes file monitor filter driver, file access control filter driver, transparent file encryption filter driver, process filter driver and registry filter driver. The File Security Solution with the EaseFilter Comprehensive File Security SDK encompasses file security, digital rights management, encryption, file monitoring, file auditing, file tracking, data loss prevention, process monitoring and protection, and system configuration protection. EaseFilter file system filter driver is a kernel-mode component that runs as part of the Windows executive above the file system. The EaseFilter file system filter driver can intercept requests targeted at a file system or another file system filter driver. By intercepting the request before it reaches its intended target, the filter driver can extend or replace functionality provided by the original target of the request.

Tool to use from Python interactive interpreter or script. Use it to make JSON indexes of all files in a directory, or files of a certain type. Could be used to observe activity in a server directory, to generate JSON to send to clients searching remotely, or to keep an index of files in a directory when the user of that directory does not have permission to probe the files system for files without knowing their names. Uses a configuration file, or optionally you can pass configuration information as keyword arguments. Also see recursive example.

A fuse filesystem implementation to a MAID system. Multiple Array of Inespensive Disk Use case: a user have many usb sticks, disks and other filesystem to merge in a single filesystem to get the data and move it

pyquota is a Python wrapper module for manipulating disk quotas.

Offers a TKinter graphical user interface to the management of ACLs.

PyVSS is a python module which allows you to copy files using Volume Shadow Copy Service (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_Copy). It is in an early development phase, yet is stable, simple and straight-forward to use.

readsmb is an open source extentsion module for Python. It's writen by C and published under the GPLv2. Using readsmb, you can browse or read contents on a SAMBA/CIFS server.
