    3 A: Think of Tahoe-LAFS as being like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent BitTorrent], except you can upload as well as download. Also, Tahoe-LAFS has directories and files so that if you're looking at a directory that is stored in Tahoe-LAFS, you can navigate to a file or sub-directory that is also in Tahoe-LAFS. So in that sense it is a little more like a filesystem than !BitTorrent is. Tahoe-LAFS also allows [#Q23_FUSE filesystem integration for Unix via sshfs].
