[BOUNTY] Mount Swarm as drive on computer

[crtahlin]

Motivation / background / user story:

There are many instances in which people do not have access to the internet and therefore cannot access data that is not stored locally. To aid in the growth of Web3, this bounty will allow user's to access data in Swarm storage while temporarily unable to access the internet.

As a User, I would like to access Swarm storage even though I'm offline.

Tasks

• Familiarize yourself with the repo: https://github.com/ethersphere/bee
• Create Repo on Github that contains code
• Implement and mount Swarm as drive to computer (Windows, macOS, Linux)

Approving criteria

• A new public repo is opened with open source code and a link to the repo is in the Gitcoin issue.
• Include Readme file with instructions on how to use the solution
• Use open source license Apache 2.0
• Using ready-made open source or your own data for mounting complete the following:
  • the solution displays files
  • files from storage are synchronized with Swarm network
  • Mounting must be implemented for the latest versions of operating systems
• Enable users without strong tech skills to launch your solution with a one-liner solution
• If the solution requires a mandatory configuration, it is better to transfer such configuration to the web interface or GUI

Timeline

Deadline: 2 calendar weeks after approval

Compensation: In BZZ tokens in amount of 3000 DAI (as of the price of BZZ / DAI on the day of the payout as determined by Fair Data Society).

Work has been started.

These users each claimed they can complete the work by 1 month from now. Please review their action plans below:

1) kosasih has applied to start work _(Funders only: approve worker | reject worker)_.

Build new project, sharing and start open discussions 2) aloknerurkar has been approved to start work.

Will build a FUSE mount for Swarm with simple CLI for users to mount their personal directories on Swarm. 3) shr1ftyy has applied to start work _(Funders only: approve worker | reject worker)_.

I will attempt to write a FUSE driver for swarm storage. I've integrated an IPFS backend to duplicity before (see https://gitlab.com/duplicity/duplicity/-/merge_requests/42) , but have never worked with FUSE before so this would be a great opportunity to do so.
