+**<a name="Q0_what_is_it">Q0:</a> What is Tahoe-LAFS? What can you do with it?**
+
+A: Think of Tahoe-LAFS as being like BitTorrent, except you can upload as well as download. Also, Tahoe-LAFS has directories and files so that if you're looking at a directory that is stored in Tahoe-LAFS, you can navigate to a file or sub-directory that is also in Tahoe-LAFS. So in that sense it is a little more like a filesystem than [BitTorrent](BitTorrent) is. Tahoe-LAFS comes with filesystem integration for Unix (FUSE) and for Windows—see [#Q23_FUSE Q23], below.
