I like KBFS a lot, but you have to be careful about trying to use it as a Dropbox-alike. KBFS is always-online. If you have no network connectivity, you have no files.
It's also not particularly fast.
- chias 7y agoIf you don't mind getting your hands a little dirty, you can basically just rsync a given local folder with your `/keybase` folder on a cron every so often. It's obviously not a right-for-everyone kind of solution, but it does get you fast local offline sync functionality with very little effort.
- Legogris 7y agoThey have been working on this and you can actually do it today even if it's not very well documented (again, haven't tried myself): $ keybase fs sync --help NAME: keybase fs sync - Manages the per-folder syncing state USAGE: keybase fs sync <command> [arguments...] COMMANDS: enable syncs the given folder to local storage, for offline access disable Stops syncing the given folder to local storage show shows the sync configuration and status for the given folder, or all folders if none is specified help, h Shows a list of commands or help for one command
- eropple 7y agoInteresting - I haven't seen this before. Thanks, that's awesome.
