Keybase.io client and Keybase Filesystem (KBFS) Keybase will be a public directory of publicly auditable public keys. All paired, for convenience, with unique usernames. kbfs is the official Keybase implementation of the client-side code for the Keybase filesystem (KBFS). This client allows you to mount KBFS as a proper filesystem at some mountpoint on your local device (by default, /keybase/). It communicates locally with the Keybase service, and remotely with three types of KBFS servers (block servers, metadata servers, and key servers).
