List of macFUSE File Systems - macfuse/community GitHub Wiki
| Link | Description | Compatible OS | Maintenence State |
|---|---|---|---|
| AccessibilityFS | Seems to have been part of the MacFUSE code base, but it is unclear to it status | Disappeared | |
| APFS | FUSE driver for the new Apple File System. | Inactive | |
| bindfs | Mount a directory to another location and alter permission bits. (source on GitHub) | Active | |
| Codex VFS | Unknown project location or source location | ||
| CryFS | Mount an unencrypted version of a directory tree that is actually stored using modern encryption primitives. Each file is stored as one or tens of thousands of evenly sized chunk files. Its own (encrypted) database is used to map directories and files to the chunk files on the underlying filesystem, an indirection that makes some operations relatively slow, but provides superior obfuscation of the sizes of the files stored and the hierarchy they are stored in. https://www.cryfs.org/ and https://github.com/cryfs/cryfs | Active | |
| EXT | Fuse-ext2 is an EXT2/EXT3/EXT4 filesystem - Source on GitHub | Inactive | |
| fuse-zip | Mount zip files, even write to them - Source on BitBucket | Inactive | |
| gocryptfs | Mount an unencrypted version of a directory tree that is actually stored using modern encryption primitives. Each file is stored in its own encrypted file. File and directory names are also encrypted. Directory hierarchy, file sizes and POSIX file attributes are not obfuscated. Relatively fast. macOS support is still experimental as of v1.2. https://nuetzlich.net/gocryptfs/ and https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs | Active | |
| hfsfuse | Provides support for the HFS+ file system (not for the original HFS file system - currently hfsutils provides a solution) - Source on GitHub | Active | |
| JuiceFS | A file system using object storage services as the backend. It's designed to be POSIX compatible, with fast implementation for common operations like ls, grep, find, etc. Compression is enabled by default using zstd and encryption can be enabled on demand. - Source on GitHub | Active | |
| KBFS |
Officially supported Keybase Filesystem client, a fully encrypted remote filesystem solution, part of the free and open-source Keybase suite of encryption tools. This client allows you to mount KBFS as a proper filesystem at some mountpoint on your local device (by default, /Volumes/Keybase (username)/). It communicates locally with the Keybase service, and remotely with three types of KBFS servers (block servers, metadata servers, and key servers).

| LoopbackFS | Demo filesystem, for macFUSE file system developers | Active | |
| MooseFS | MooseFS Distributed Storage – Open Source, Petabyte, Fault-Tolerant, Highly Performing, Scalable Network Distributed File System / Software-Defined Storage. Source on Github | Active | |
| MTP (Android Phones) | macFUSE wrapper of the Android File Transfer for Linux (and macOS!). | Active | |
| NTFS-3G | NTFS on OS X | ||
| OXFS | Oxfs is a user-space network file system similar to SSHFS, and the underlying data transfer is based on the SFTP protocol - Source on GitHub | Inactive | |
| procfs | Source on GitHub | Inactive | |
| rclone | Rclone is an open source CLI based program which supports mounting (and transfering data to and from) over 40 cloud providers, including Google Drive, Dropbox, S3, Azure, Google Cloud storage, Box, etc | ||
| SeaweedFS | SeaweedFS is a simple and highly scalable distributed file system, to store and serve billions of files fast! SeaweedFS implements an object store with O(1) disk seek and an optional Filer with POSIX interface, supporting S3 API, Rack-Aware Erasure Coding for warm storage, FUSE mount, Hadoop compatible, WebDAV. - Source on GitHub | Active | |
| SpotlightFS | Seems to have been part of the MacFUSE code base, but it is unclear to it status | ||
| SSHFS | SSH File System | 15 | Active |
| XFS | XFS on OS X - Source on SourceForge | Inactive | |
| YouTubeFs | Source on GitHub, but archived | Inactive |
- Indicated which versions of macOS this has been tested to work with.
