S3QL

S3QL is a tool that lets you turn cheap cloud storage into a normal hard drive for your computer or server. It lets you store and organize your files on DiskSpace as if they were sitting on a regular disk that you can browse, copy, and edit.
S3QL handles all the complicated parts like splitting files, keeping them secure, and making sure everything stays consistent even if your internet connection drops. This gives you practically unlimited storage space at very low cost while still working like the familiar folders on your laptop.
S3QL uses DiskSpace S3-compatible object storage as its backend, which means your files are safely spread across many servers in the cloud, automatically backed up, and can be accessed from anywhere without needing to manage your own hardware.
