Need to map container storage to a drive letter in Windows?

WinFsp is a Windows File System Proxy that allows developers to implement a fully functional file system in user mode without writing a kernel driver. WinFsp provides an interface that enables the development of file systems that can be used by applications running on Windows.

In the context of mapping container storage to a Windows PC or server, WinFsp can be used to develop a file system that provides access to the container storage as if it were a local file system. This would enable applications running on Windows to access the container storage as if it were a local file system.

To achieve this, you would need to develop a file system driver using WinFsp that maps the container storage to a Windows drive letter or mount point. This driver would need to be installed on the Windows PC or server. Once the driver is installed, you can use any file manager or application that supports standard Windows file system APIs to access the container storage.

WinFsp provides a set of APIs that can be used to implement a file system driver, and it also includes a sample file system driver that you can use as a starting point. However, developing a file system driver using WinFsp can be a complex task, and you would need a good understanding of file system concepts and programming in C or C++ to develop a driver that meets your requirements.

Alternatively, there are several existing solutions that use WinFsp to map container storage to a Windows PC or server.
