upspin seems to be mostly a global naming, fine-grained (not just
groups) authorization, addressing and indexing system.
conceptionally it doesn't require the use of CLI tools, though
(unknown to me) it might be the first implementations are centered
around that.
i think the problems it attempts
Oh lol... you know Upspin isn't designed to work with Windows Android or iOS
when you see how permissions are granted: a file called Access with no
extension. This is all right if you do everything from the command line, but
it's not exactly the ease and flexibility they claim to be going for.

For my use, I may as well use SMB over a VPN. AFS has just the right sort of
caching to minimize mobile data usage without messing up.
