📖 Document Request

Some platforms need to install libfuse-dev (ie: Ubuntu)... or we can upgrade to the newer fuse support layer which may have pre-built.

Motivation

kzar79 commented 3 years ago

I found this interesting project and I'd like to use it and to contribute to it (it seems inactive since last year), but there is very little documentation on the architecture and functioning. For example, what is a "bucket"? How to share a folder with other people/public keys? How to manage the public keys that have access to a folder? (grant/revoke read/write/management access)

So it would be very helpful if you could provide some insight on the internal architecture, the core concepts, the functioning and more in general a detailed workflow on how to create an encrypted folder, how to grant access to other public keys, how to mount and use it, how to manage/revoke the keys that have access, and so on.
