File System Protocols

File system protocols are sets of rules that determine how data is stored, organized, and accessed on computer storage devices. They ensure that files can be read, written, shared, and managed efficiently. Common examples include NFS (Network File System) for sharing files over a network and SMB (Server Message Block) used for accessing files on Windows systems. By following these protocols, different devices and operating systems can communicate and work with files seamlessly, making it easier for users to store and retrieve their information regardless of the platform they use.
