WinFsp is a Windows platform providing a kernel-mode file system driver and user-mode DLL that lets developers implement custom file systems as user-mode programs, similar to FUSE on Linux. It exposes native Windows, FUSE, and Cygwin APIs for C/C++ and .NET.
Use cases
- mount remote storage as a Windows drive
- write a custom file system for Windows without kernel programming
- port FUSE file systems from Linux to Windows
- expose an archive or database as a virtual drive
- implement SSHFS on Windows
When to choose
- you need to create a Windows file system in user mode
- you want FUSE compatibility on Windows
- you need NTFS-like performance and semantics for a virtual file system
When to avoid
- you target Linux or macOS only
- you need a pure kernel-mode file system with no user-mode component
- your project cannot accept GPLv3 terms and you cannot purchase a commercial license
