You use the tool as it is intended. With Keybase if you are opening and working directly from the Keybase folder that is mounted then you are using it wrong, so your scenario wouldn't happen if you are using Keybase correctly.
The point I was trying to make is that for many people being able to copy back and forth between a local folder and a mounted directory is no different than what they do everyday at work with networked folders. Many people are just moving the occasional document, picture, or folder. For those people Keybase could definitely work as a Dropbox replacement. I don't think the typical Dropbox user is expecting their ZSH profile to be omnipresent on their multiple computers/laptops/tablets.

- ahnick 8y agoI don't think so. The encrypted git functionality in Keybase operates differently from kbfs. AFAIK the encrypted git ability just functions as a git remote helper that doesn't use the local kbfs mount on your system, so you wouldn't run into the same situation as say a file you are copying to your private keybase folder. Also, to be clear, you could use the mounted files directly, but you just have to be aware that if you lose connectivity you may run into issues. If I was traveling somewhere and I'd like to work on a document in transit then I would recommend copying that to another folder on your local machine first.
