Office Hours #16 – Beyond POSIX: Accessing JuiceFS with S3 Gateway and WebDAV

​Your data lives in JuiceFS, but not every application accesses storage through a POSIX file system. S3 Gateway and WebDAV offer alternative ways to connect applications and tools to your JuiceFS data using familiar protocols.

​In this office hour session, we'll go behind the scenes of JuiceFS' S3 Gateway and WebDAV implementations. Let's explore how these interfaces work, how protocol requests translate into file system operations, and what those design choices mean for applications accessing JuiceFS. Join us to understand the implementation, learn about key differences between the data access methods, and bring your questions to the JuiceFS team.
