s3fs is a FUSE filesystem that enables you to mount an Amazon S3 pail as a nearby filesystem. It stores documents locally and straightforwardly in S3 (i.e., you can utilize different projects to get to similar records). The most extreme size of articles that s3fs can deal with relies upon Amazon S3. For instance, up to 5 GB when utilizing single PUT API. What’s more, up to 5 TB is supported when Multipart Upload API is utilized.
