Overview

A cross platform virtual file-system in userspace (drive) that will appear as a regular drive on the operating system. The interface is a POSIX-like API and this is exposed in every OS. May include a webdav interface where possible.

IOS and Android…etc… may require a driverless option, further consideration will also be required (webdav ?) to provide the same cross platform/OS compatibility.

This drive can provide a blocking call to be used as a stand alone application, or a threaded call to enable a drive to be mounted from any application.

Prerequisites

Linux

Requires fuse dev files in ubuntu sudo apt-get install libfuse-dev

OS X

Requires osxfuse (easiest method is to use Homebrew and brew install osxfuse

BSD

Likely working Puffs and will require fuse-development library installed, but requires tests and CI integration.

Windows

Currently unimplemented and will require the windows driver frameworks as per these examples
