Network File System (NFS): A protocol that allows users on client computers to access files over a network in a manner similar to how local storage is accessed. NFS provides a simple way for users to share and access files and directories residing on different machines on a network as if they were on their local machine. This process facilitates data sharing between systems by offering an environment that consolidates resources onto centralized servers, improving efficiency and collaboration.
