Description
First of all, thanks for this awesome work. I feel this is something the community desperately needs (as I do).
I wanted to ask about the interaction of GVFS with NFS or other network file systems. I'm asking this because I have a rather large repository and I have to work with it on NFS where all the cloud infrastructure for building and testing my software exists.
My initial thought is that GVFS would be implemented with FUSE or similar technology, but that would make the filesystem exist only in the local machine (right?). But I could be missing something...
So, how do you guys solve this issue of building and testing the software using the cloud? Or is it all done in the local machine?

Research direction
The issue names no source files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the project's filesystem architecture and existing documentation for GVFS, then clarify how NFS and other network file systems are expected to interact with it. The scope and completion criteria need to be defined before implementation can begin.
