Files
Rift keeps your files in one folder, ~/rift. Make folders and files in it with the tools you already use. Every file is encrypted before it leaves your machine.
Folders
$ mkdir ~/rift/team$ cp notes.md ~/rift/team/$ ls ~/riftteam
A folder is private until you share it.
Add, list, read
$ cp -r src ~/rift/team/$ ls ~/rift/teamnotes.md src$ cat ~/rift/team/notes.mdship friday
Your own machines download every file as it arrives, except a file offloaded to Rift Cloud, which downloads when it is opened. A machine a folder was shared with can list a file before it has the contents, and downloads it the first time something opens it.
rift add, rift cat and rift get do the same jobs for a script that works outside the folder.
Move
$ mv ~/rift/team/notes.md ~/rift/team/archive/$ rift mv team/draft.md public/launch.md! readers change - bob write + carol read? move team/draft.md to public/launch.md? y/N
Moving a file within a shared folder renames it for everyone. Moving it to a folder with different members changes who can read it. rift mv lists those changes and asks you to confirm.
A plain mv between two such folders makes the same change without asking. Neither move uploads the file again.
