It's quite heart breaking. I particularly loved the idea of the Keybase Filesystem, sad to see this fall into an abandoned state.

The closest Keybase alternative I've found so far is https://keys.pub/ (on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22995792)

Welcome any suggestions for KBFS alternatives!

Agreed, file sharing via Keybase is a dream. It automatically creates an encrypted folder on my filesystem that is shared with the other party. Super convenient, I tried to evangelize it solely for this reason.

ignoring its UX, https://upspin.io/ is the closest alternative that i'm aware of

You might like Peergos (disclaimer: co-founder here), an encrypted global filesystem built on ipfs - https://peergos.org

More detail in our book - https://book.peergos.org

We can also do signed identity proofs with better privacy than keybase's. Here's a public example https://beta.peergos.net/public/ianopolous/.profile/ids/iano...

I popped over for a glance, as I have been seeing a need for something very similar.

pricing 5 GBP per month - I read over that 4 times and it kept becoming 5 GB in my head... might I suggest adding $7 US per month and $80 per year perhaps.

then I checked the terms and I saw UK law - which has fluctuated a lot with content that is okay and not okay.. and then the word "obscene" is in there.. and other stuff that makes me wish this was hosted elsewhere.

perhaps for an extra X$ one can choose to host an instance on other locations and avoid some of the uk things I dunno.

I use keyoxide (https://keyoxide.org) for showing proofs such dns and github.

KBFS was pure magic. I wish they had kept their focus on that. Alas, all good things…
