Network File System version 4 (NFSv4)

Network File System version 4 (NFSv4) is a protocol that allows computers to share and access files over a network seamlessly. It enables users to mount remote storage as if it were local, providing consistent access to data across different devices. NFSv4 improves security with better authentication, supports locking files to prevent conflicts, and operates efficiently over modern networks. It is widely used in organizations for centralized data management, simplifying file sharing, backup, and collaboration across multiple systems while maintaining data integrity and security.
