===File system abstraction=== [[File:GNOME Files v3.34 (2019-10) -- Other Locations.png|thumb|GNOME Files provides a special page for managing storage devices.]] GNOME Files relies on a file system [[abstraction layer]] (provided by [[GVfs]]) to browse local and remote file systems, including but not limited to [[File Transfer Protocol|FTP]] sites, Windows [[Server Message Block|SMB]] shares, [[OBject EXchange|OBEX]] protocol (often implemented on cellphones), [[files transferred over shell protocol]], [[HTTP]] and [[WebDAV]] and [[SSH file transfer protocol|SFTP]] servers. Using the [[GIO (software)|GIO library]], Nautilus tracks modification of local files in real time, eliminating the need to refresh the display. GIO internally supports Gamin and [[File alteration monitor|FAM]], Linux's [[inotify]] and [[Solaris (operating system)|Solaris]]' File Events Notification system.
