The virtual filesystem works with local volumes and protocols or systems including FTP, SFTP, SMB, NFS, HTTP, Amazon S3, Hadoop HDFS, and Bonjour. Dropbox and Google Drive are the listed cloud storage services. Archive support includes ZIP, RAR, 7z, TAR, GZip, BZip2, ISO/NRG, AR/Deb, and LST.

A portable version is available, and downloads are also listed for FreeBSD and other Java-supporting operating systems.
