Description

After some time ago I have lost access to all folders in the protected K: drive. I have rebooted, reinstalled and done everything I can think of.

Keybase gui still works, I can use the chat and modify my profile. But I cant access any of the folders in K: and K: is not visible in Windows explorer either.

Research direction

Start with the reported log ID 8380e1820bc5406de524591c and the client’s KBFS protected-drive behavior on Windows. Reproduce the missing K: drive and inaccessible folders, then verify that the drive is visible in Windows Explorer and its folders can be accessed without breaking the working GUI features.
