Description

Keybase GUI Version: 5.0.0-20191114182642+f73f97dac6

Hello,

I have two singed in accounts in my app, say for example "work" and "personal".
Keybase filesystem is mounted as a volume in the macOS Finder.

User "work" can see and browse /Volumes/keybase/private/work,personal from the Finder.

Switching to user "personal", /Volumes/keybase/private/work,personal is shown as an alias, and I cannot open the folder to see its contents. On the other hand I can easily access the folder from the terminal, from the desktop and mobile client apps.

macOS 10.14.6

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for any help you will offer.

Research direction

The report concerns browsing /Volumes/keybase/private/work,personal in macOS Finder after switching between Keybase accounts; begin by reproducing the alias behavior on macOS 10.14.6. No files, tests, or implementation entry points are identified in the issue, so completion would require locating the Finder filesystem integration and making the private folder browsable for the permitted account.
