### Known issues ###
#### Windows support - Experimental ####
There are a couple of issues with Windows `mount` functionality that still require some investigations.
It should be considered as experimental thus far as fixes come in for this OS.
Most of the issues seem to be related to the difference between filesystems
on Linux flavors and Windows as cache is heavily dependant on them.
Any reports or feedback on how cache behaves on this OS is greatly appreciated.

#### Risk of throttling ####
Future iterations of the cache backend will make use of the pooling functionality
of the cloud provider to synchronize and at the same time make writing through it
more tolerant to failures.
There are a couple of enhancements in track to add these but in the meantime
there is a valid concern that the expiring cache listings can lead to cloud provider
throttles or bans due to repeated queries on it for very large mounts.
Some recommendations:
- don't use a very small interval for entry informations (`--cache-info-age`)
- while writes aren't yet optimised, you can still write through `cache` which gives you the advantage
of adding the file in the cache at the same time if configured to do so.
Future enhancements:

#### cache and crypt ####
One common scenario is to keep your data encrypted in the cloud provider
