s3fs also layers a filesystem on top of S3 but preserves the native object format:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;s3fs-fuse&#x2F;s3fs-fuse" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;s3fs-fuse&#x2F;s3fs-fuse</a><p>This approach allows use of other tools like s3cmd and the Amazon web console but prevents advanced features like deduplication and snapshotting.
