Goofys is a FUSE-based tool that mounts Amazon S3 buckets (and Azure/GCS/Swift storage) as a file system on Linux and macOS. It prioritizes performance over strict POSIX compliance, trading away features like random writes and per-file permissions for speed.
Use cases
- mount an s3 bucket as a local filesystem
- access cloud storage files from linux command line
- serve s3 objects to applications expecting a filesystem
- mount azure blob storage on mac
- back up local files directly to s3 via mount point
- analyze large datasets stored in s3 with local tools
When to choose
- you need fast, read-heavy access to object storage as a filesystem
- your workload is sequential reads/writes and doesn't need strict POSIX semantics
- you want a lightweight, dependency-free mount tool with no disk cache
When to avoid
- you need random writes, file locking, or full POSIX compliance
- you require per-file permissions and metadata fidelity
- you need an actively developed project with recent fixes
