Description

Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.24-20170619144856+91a6943

Feature Request

Is building a progress bar for uploading/downloading to Keybase Filesystem on the roadmap? Also, green checkmark like Dropbox to confirm the file is on the system? It would be really helpful to have more visibility into what's happening.

Example, if I initiate the streaming/download of a video file by opening it, does it only buffer a minute ahead of where it's playing or will it download the entire file as it's streaming? I'd like to see how much time it's got left before I have the entire file. I'm having problems with slow connections, and not having the entire file when I hit the road.

Research direction

The issue names Keybase GUI and Keybase Filesystem but no files or tests; begin by locating the GUI entry point for KBFS uploads, downloads, and streaming. Completion would require visible transfer progress, a completed-file checkmark, and clear behavior for buffered versus fully downloaded video files.
