Use virtualfilesystem for questions related to APIs which facilitate the creation of data abstractions which behave like real file systems, such as accessing database records as virtual file resources, accessing network files as local files, or accessing compressed files as uncompressed files.
For a long time, I've been looking for a class in .NET that has functionality that makes it so that the operating system thinks there is a file (or directory, or both, etc) at a particular location - but all hooks are passed to a function (or…
I'm looking for a way to create a virtual file system in Python for creating directories and files, before writing these directories and files to disk.
Using PyFilesystem I can construct a memory filesystem using the following:

For an open source project I have I am writing an abstraction layer on top of the filesystem.
This layer allows me to attach metadata and relationships to each file.
I would like the layer to handle file renames gracefully and maintain the…
I am trying to implement streaming mode using Cloud Filter API. My aim is to create a drive with high security - the file content is available only when the drive is online and no data is stored on the client machine. If permissions are withdrawn,…
Microsoft and Apple have recently introduced an API for synchronizing cloud storage files to the local file system: Cloud Provider API (also known as Cloud Filter API) for Windows and File Provider API for Apple and iOS. For example, the Microsoft…
