Description
Copying a file using drag and drop in explorer fails with this error:

Source File C:\Users\Ken\Pictures\xfer\Godzillas.JPG
Destination K:\public\destroid11
I am logged into my Keybase account and Keybase.exe is running.
Copying files via command line works correctly.
Windows 10 Home x64 Version 1607 (Anniversery)
