I want to access GCP bucket data on windows 10 as file system.
GCP provide FUSE for mac and Linux, Is there any way to mount GCP bucket with Windows.
Accordingly to the documentation Cloud Storage FUSE:
Cloud Storage FUSE is an open source FUSE adapter that allows you to mount Cloud Storage buckets as file systems on Linux or macOS systems.
As a result, there is no easy way of using it on the Windows systems.
There are a few possible ways to solve it:
Rclone is a command line program to manage files on cloud storage. It is a feature rich alternative to cloud vendors' web storage interfaces. Over 40 cloud storage products support rclone including S3 object stores, business & consumer file storage services, as well as standard transfer protocols.
Install Rclone and WinFsp. Remember to add Rclone location to your PATH.
Follow the instructions to set up your remote GCP bucket. If your GCP bucket use Uniform bucket-level access, remember to set the --gcs-bucket-policy-only option to true when configuring Rclone remote drive.
Mount the remote GCP bucket as a local disk
rclone mount remote:path/to/files X:
where X: is an unused drive letter.
GcsFuse-Win is a distributed FUSE based file system backed by Google cloud storage service. It is the first open source native version of gcs fuse on windows.It allows you to mount the buckets/folders in the storage account as a the local folder/driver on Windows system. It support the cluster mode. you can mount the blob container (or part of it) across multiple windows nodes.
CloudBerry Drive (proprietary software):

Mount bucket with FUSE into a Linux instance and share it via network Samba/NFS.
