Why aren’t there any great remote drive mounting protocols? NFS works in some cases but is ancient and really only suited to cluster backplanes. Samba/CIFS sucks. SSHfs is a hack. It’s a super common thing that just has no solution.
I guess there’s way more money in solving it with a heavy cloud service that can charge rent for what should be a trivial core feature of every OS.
