I too am very interested in if they are currently supporting Windows and/or if/when they plan to. I was hoping this blog post would have at least mentioned it in passing.
We are testing a build for Windows that uses Dokan. Early results have been very positive. It's an important feature of KBFS that it can run on Windows.
Thanks for the response!
I wonder how hard it would be to use the NTFS pseudo-files that OneDrive used in Windows 8.1 (and abandoned in Windows 10 for being "too confusing to the average user")?

Also, it's a terrible Plan B, but it's still a Plan B to keep in mind: Windows still has semi-adequate WebDAV views in Explorer. OneDrive for Business is still WebDAV-based for instance. (I've also seen and used several backup and NAS tools that have relied on WebDAV.)
There's always the ability to use a SAMBA server variant and be a network share. Still a lot of dumb Windows apps that fail on network shares, but most of those are long in the tooth and should be retired anyway (and the tried and true Map Network Drive is still a power user workaround).
It looks like one application I use (JungleDisk) is somehow faking a removable drive (such as USB). I'm curious how they've built that.
Re: Introducing the Keybase filesystem
#430About 4 years ago I was involved with a commercial software project attempting to do exactly this. What we built worked but it wasn't positioned in a way that interested our target audience (Enterprise customers). First, bravo for making it happen in a way that is getting people excited. Second, I sincerely wish you the best luck in getting people to pay for it in a way that is sustainable for a business. We built a…
I don't think Keybase is glossing over security at all. First of all, you don't have to use the browser app at all. I personally don't trust Javascript crypto and hence don't do anything in the web app. They're also acutely aware of the dangers of centralization and all the Keybase crypto is based on minimal trust. Check the documentation: https://keybase.io/docs/server_security
Personally, I don't want someone else storing my private keys; which is a pre-condition for doing anything you'd have to worry about in the browser anyway.
