Has anyone found a satisfactory way to mount cloud storage as if it were a local drive/NFS/CIFS ?

By "satisfactory", I mean
-inherently stable mount/unmount
-local apps read/write non-executable files stored in cloud-land without so much as a burp. -nowhere near a comparable amount of local RAM or disk-ish is needed to cache, say, 4 GB of cloud-land files

Can you elaborate on which _kind_ of cloud storage you'd like to mount?
Are we talking blob storage (a-la S3), long term archival (a-la Glacier), maybe just an NFS volume on some "someone-else's-computer", some non-exposed directory on a machine you can SSH into?
