Cross OS virtual drive functionality

Looking for online resources to implement a virtual drive functionality similar to ones implemented in products listed here

The solution should be cross OS (win, pc, linux) preferably using a well behaving framework. Currently the answer to this question is widely dispersed with no clear option on what to use:

Current suggestions I've found:

  1. Fuse (not really sure on the status of various windows ports)
  2. Dokan library
  3. Custom namespace extensions (windows only, sources in various CodeProject articles)
  4. Commercial frameworks (windows) - LogicNP, Eldos
  5. WebDav

Please list one suggestion per answer and I'll update the question accordingly. The purpose of the question is to create the best reference point for such questions...

It seems WebDav would be easiest to implement cross OS so further information on this would be appreciated.

You can use Alfresco JLAN. JLAN is a Java-Client and Java-Server Implementation of the protocols CIFS, NFS und FTP. With JLAN can files be shared over the network, which are available via a network drive.

The download is at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=143373&package_id=248550
