s3fs allows Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD to mount an S3 bucket via FUSE. s3fs preserves the native object format for files, allowing use of other tools like AWS CLI. Large subset of POSIX including reading/writing files, directories, symlinks, mode, uid/gid, and extended attributes. Compatible with Amazon S3, and other S3-based object stores. Allows random writes and appends, large files via multi-part upload, and renames via server-side copy. User-specified regions, including Amazon GovCloud. Many systems provide pre-built packages. s3fs supports the standard AWS credentials file stored in the credentials folder. Alternatively, s3fs supports a custom passwd file. The default location for the s3fs password file can be created. Generally S3 cannot offer the same performance or semantics as a local file system.
