Hi. Does anyone still have an invite? I would love to try it out.

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...
Are we THAT forgetful? http://kiledjian.com/main/2013/6/7/nsa-is-using-google-faceb...
Dropbox was listed on PRISM documents. Are you kidding me?

Thanks for adding facts. Do they still have that questionable(?) politician on the board?
Everyone seems to have completely forgotten that Dropbox was named in PRISM documents as handing over information to the NSA.

I see, thanks! I'll look more into it, it sounds interesting. By the way, how did you manage to install Keybase FS? It won't work for me at all.
I managed to find the prerelease packages in the build scripts, and got it working through that. Make sure you restart the keybase service, as it doesn't happen automatically https://s3.amazonaws.com/prerelease.keybase.io/index.html
I love you.
EDIT: Still doesn't work, unfortunately. I get the /keybase dir, but it's empty.

#478I have 8 invites if any other stragglers (6 hours after the story was posted) are still reading. I'm heading to bed but will send them during morning coffee, GMT -5. (please make sure your email is in your profile)
I would like one, please!

Given Dropbox's absolutely glacial pace of feature progression, no it would not be easy. I mean, all of dropbox runs off of one set of private keys... https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/28

By all means, just make stuff up. You've come to the right venue.
