FUSE

FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a technology that allows users to create and manage custom file systems without needing deep expertise in kernel programming. It runs entirely in user space, meaning on top of the operating system’s normal environment, enabling flexible and safe development of new ways to organize and access data. For example, FUSE can be used to create virtual file systems that provide access to cloud storage, encrypted data, or other specialized storage formats, making it accessible as if they were regular directories on your computer.
