Using FUSE doesn't cost you anything extra, but it doesn't make the underlying storage free.

You will be doing storage operations silently and in a unoptimized fashion, more so if the underlying FUSE filesystem is implemented in a naive fashion.

For example, Cloud Storage never moves or renames your objects; copying and deleting the original one instead. This can end up costing quite a lot if you're using data other that in "standard store" because of minimum storage duration.
