Description
I don't know where this warning keeps coming from, but it pops up several times per day. I also realize it might not be a keybase issue per se, but I don't know where else to ask about it.

Clicking on it does nothing and shows me no additional details. My best guess is that I have another application or service running that tries to read or write a `Portable Keys` folder, but I don't see it affecting any other mounted volumes. Google also comes up with nothing useful or informative.
Any suggestions on how to track down the culprit would be greatly appreciated.
