I noticed looking at my network logs that one of my PCs has been receiving a lot of data. After looking at the computer, I checked out system monitor on MAC and noticed that Keybase has received over 200GB of data in the past couple of days. I've looked at any shared folders, and I don't see anything.. Any clue?

Research direction

The report identifies unexplained network traffic on macOS but names no source file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing the excessive data reception and tracing which Keybase component is responsible; done means the traffic source and cause are identified or the behavior is fixed and covered by appropriate verification.
