In computing, a [[distributed file system]] (DFS) or network file system is any [[file system]] that allows access from multiple hosts to [[computer file|files]] from multiple hosts [[resource sharing|sharingshared]] via a [[computer network]]. This makes it possible for multiple users on multiple machines to share files and storage resources.

Distributed file systems differ in their performance, mutability of content, handling of concurrent writes, handling of permanent or temporary loss of nodes or storage, and their policy of storing content.
