s3fs is a FUSE-based file system backed by Amazon S3. It allows you to mount an S3 bucket as a local file system so that you can read and write files using standard file system operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since the S3 bucket is mounted as a local file system, applications can access the bucket using normal file system commands instead of directly interacting with the S3 API.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
