s3fs allows Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD to mount an S3 bucket via FUSE(Filesystem in Userspace).
s3fs makes you operate files and directories in S3 bucket like a local file system. It preserves the native object format for files, allowing use of other tools like AWS CLI.
This is free and open source software.
