Description

Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.18-20161116112520+95f8303

I installed Windows keybase app yesterday and it created kbfs drive where I can enter.
There I have folders
-private
|-pzduns
-public
|-pzduns
When I try to copy anything to pzduns folders or create a folder there I have message
File system error (65535)
When I try to save key by puttygen it returns
"Disk K: is write-protected
Files can't be saved on write-protected disk."

Additional info: My login on machine is p.zdun

Research direction

Start by reproducing the write and folder-creation failures in the Windows Keybase app's KBFS drive, using the reported private and public pzduns folders. Compare the filesystem error 65535 and the write-protected K: response, then verify that files, folders, and a Puttygen-generated key can be saved successfully.
