spin is...

• a remote file system
• a personal cloud
• a digital data store as a utility
• a device independent, globally available file store
• a global namespace

Roughly speaking, spin manages a directory tree, like the usual file hierarchy of a Unix system. See the slides here.

It was designed by N. C. Landolfi for the Litterae and Bourbaki projects. It has similarities to the upspin project.
