We wanted to make Gaufrette compatible with as many systems as possible, and didn't want to reinvent the wheel. So we built a Flysystem adapter. With this adapter you can use any [Flysystem adapter](https://github.com/thephpleague/flysystem#adapters) with no performance penalties. It is just a tiny layer that makes Gaufrette talk to Flysystem adapters. ## Example We will show using Flysystem adapter on Dropbox example. First, you need to install Flysystem Dropbox adapter through composer: ```bash $ composer require league/flysystem-dropbox ``` Now, just wrap Dropbox adapter into Gaufrette Flysystem adapter. ```php ', '') ) ); $filesystem = new Gaufrette\Filesystem($adapter); ``` As said above, same pattern can be applied to any [Flysystem adapter](https://github.com/thephpleague/flysystem#adapters).
