About:
GCSFuse is a user-space file system that allows you to mount Google Cloud Storage buckets as local file systems. It enables standard file system operations on cloud storage objects without requiring application modifications. This tool bridges the gap between cloud storage and local file system semantics.
Key Features:
  • POSIX-compatible file system interface
  • Seamless integration with existing applications
  • Supports both file and object operations
  • Automatic caching and performance optimization
  • Secure authentication via Google Cloud credentials
Use Cases:
  • Running legacy applications that require local file system access to cloud data
  • Data processing pipelines that need to read/write files to cloud storage
  • Containerized workloads requiring persistent storage backed by GCS
  • Backup and migration tools that expect standard file system paths
Alternatives:
  • s3fs – Similar tool for AWS S3, but GCSfuse is specifically optimized for Google Cloud Storage
  • rclone – More general-purpose cloud sync tool, while GCSfuse provides true mount-based access
