Came here to say pretty much the same thing. It's slick and easy to use. It's actually the 'dropbox' I've always wanted and if they introduce a storage limit I'd pay. https://keybase.io/jgrahamc
What's also impressive is doing away with Dropbox's clunky "selective sync". While having everything stored locally sounds like a good idea at first, as you store more and more data is gets less and less user-friendly; in other words, power-users get the worst user experience. Additionally, creating an easy way to share files with friends without taking up their quota is awesome. This looks like it could be a very, v…
Not storing files locally sounds like a good idea at first - you don't have any syncing issues. But nobody has a perfect always-on internet connection. Having files local is worth the occasional sync cockup.

#319This is an awesome announcement and got me totally fired up.
Unfortunately, I wasn't even able to log in to my keybase account on a new computer. Judging from the 1,000 outstanding issues on their Github, it seems like Keybase should first be focusing on fixing the bugs in existing software before rolling out new products. [0]
As for the substance of the filesystem, it would be nice to have some concept of named/shared groups. So I could create a "company" folder and then add people to it over time instead of having to create a whole new shared folder each time we add someone new. (And having to manually copy over all relevant files.)

Dropbox works with the NSA to hand over customer data. You are absolutely right that something like this would go over like a turd in a punchbowl at Dropbox HQ.
Unlike Google, Microsoft and Slack, Dropbox does have the top, 5 star, EFF rating for protecting your data from the government... I'm not sure what more they could be doing. Edit to add link to EFF ratings: https://www.eff.org/who-has-your-back-government-data-reques...
As the recent Schrems case in the CJEU said, any data held in the USA is no secure.
