Dokany is a user-mode file system library for Windows, similar to FUSE on Linux, letting developers create file systems without writing kernel-mode drivers. It includes a FUSE wrapper so existing FUSE implementations can run on Windows with minimal changes.
Use cases
- mount remote or cloud storage as a local Windows drive
- create a virtual file system on Windows without writing a kernel driver
- port an existing Linux FUSE filesystem to Windows
- expose arbitrary data as files to Windows applications
- implement custom access control for a Windows filesystem
When to choose
- you need a custom or virtual filesystem on Windows
- you want to reuse FUSE code on Windows
- you want to avoid risky kernel-mode driver development
When to avoid
- you need a filesystem on Linux or macOS natively
- you need maximum filesystem performance close to NTFS
- you need a permissively licensed solution without checking LGPL/MIT terms
