- Mac and Windows users working with remote storage
- Worth noticing
- Files over 8 MB are fetched in 1 MB blocks; S3 uploads use one request, limiting each file to 5 GB.
Field notes
On macOS, the mount uses the built-in NFS client; on Windows, it relies on WinFsp, which must be installed with administrator rights. The page says unsent changes are journaled locally and retried if an upload fails, while folders marked Keep Offline are downloaded and never evicted. Its test notes name specific test setups, but the developer reports only one Mac and one Windows 11 PC tested.
