Use mount point in Windows instead of drive letter

[stemid]

The use of K: could conflict with other mounted drive letters, perhaps pushed down by an organisation through AD. This is at least the case for me.

Keybase should use a mount point under C:, or better yet, let the user point to where the dir should be.

Note: I haven't been able to install keybase on Windows because my company's Trend Micro is stopping me so I haven't verified if it's possible to change the kbfs path. If it is then please disregard this issue.

Hi @stemid ,

What is the reason that Trend Micro is stopping the install ?

@Liryna

See issue #2613 on keybase.

@stemid, There is support for changing the mountpoint to an another drive letter. Using non-drive letter mountpoints can unravel an unfortunate amount of bugs with various software and e.g. path case sensitivity.

@stemid It looks like if you do keybase kbfsmount set [LETTER] you can change the mount point of the keybase file system as @taruti said. Rather unintuitive, although now that I know how to to do it I'm not sure how I would change it... Also the command has no help with it so that made it more confusing.
