Description

I just installed the Keybase App on my Windows 10 computer, however I cannot access the "K" drive from Windows Explorer. I can get to it from the Keybase Shell and from my Git BASH shell, but the K drive does not appear at all in the Windows Explorer.

UPDATE: I also tried using the start k:\private\... command to launch Windows Explorer from the Keybase Shell, and the explorer . command from inside the /k/private/... folder from my Git BASH shell, but I get an error message saying that the K drive could not be found.
