Configurable mount point/drive letter for kbfs in GUI. #2682

Open obosob opened 7 years ago

obosob commented 7 years ago

Under linux i have tested and kbfsfuse allows me to mount the kbfs fuse filesystem in any arbitrary location, ~/keybase for example, yet from the GUI you cannot configure where to mount it (or tell it where it is mounted). I also use a windows PC which has K: already mapped to a network drive which hides kbfs on K:.

It would be nice if that location was configurable, even if only from the command line or a configuration file.

Are you using a recent Windows client version? It now makes an effort to detect whether K: is already in use, and chooses a different letter. If this didn't work on your system, we would be interested to see your logs - please open Keybase Shell and issue keybase log send.

You can specify the mount point letter with the command keybase kbfsmount set X: where X is a letter followed by a colon. You'll have to restart the services afterward or just reboot.
