GVFS is the virtual filesystem for the GNOME desktop, which allows users easy access to remote data such as accessing windows network shares on demand from your linux workstation.Gigolo is a popular front-end to easily manage connections to local and remote filesystems using GIO/GVfs. GVfs is a Virtual File System.  GVFS is the virtual filesystem for the GNOME desktop, which allows users easy access to remote data such as accessing windows network shares on demand from your linux workstation.  A cause of confusion is the fact that the file system abstraction used by the Linux kernel is also called the virtual file system (VFS) layer.  The GVfs model differs from  GnomeVFS, which it replaces, in that file systems must be mounted before they are used. There is a master daemon (gvfsd) that handles coordinating mounts, and then each mount is (typically) in its own daemon process (although mounts can share daemon process). GVfs comes with a set of back-ends, including trash support, SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, SMB, and local data via Udev integration, OBEX, MTP and others.GVfs also contains modules for GIO that implement volume monitors and the GNOME URI scheme handler configuration.
