> Will the general public learn your email address? Yes, if you store ann@example.com/dir/file and share the file path publicly then the valid email address "ann@example.com" leaks out. If you own your own domain then you could have one or more email address only associated with Upspin and store at files@mydomain.com/dir/file. The downside is the username in such paths is less recognizable to your friends than your regular email. The reality today is anyone who uses any Google service or who has a Facebook page has an exposed @gmail.com or @facebook.com email address that can be spammed, and if he or she signs up for Upspin it's another way for it to leak out. You can use any email address that can receive the confirmation email; I'm not sure if yourusername@users.github.com is a valid email address, and there's no email address with your Twitter handle. > What happens if you switch email providers? You would execute a new `upspin signup -dir=dir.example.com -store=store.example.com you@newEmailAddress.com` command, keeping the same directory and storage servers. The question is whether you can tell your directory server and storage server to reuse or alias your directory and storage to those of your previous email address. |
