Description

Since yesterday evening, none of my Windows machine can access the KBFS mounted disk.
Windows always says "K:\ isn't available" although I'm correctly logged in Keybase and can exchange chat messages (I know it's quite unrelated, but I guess it's a good way to check my access to Keybase servers).
