Documentation: upspin.io

Upspin is an experimental project to build a framework for naming and sharing files and other data securely, uniformly, and globally: a global name system of sorts.

It is not a file system, but a set of protocols and reference implementations that can be used to join things like file systems and other storage services to the name space.

Performance is not a primary goal. Uniformity and security are.

Upspin is not an official Google product.

Upspin has rough edges, and is not yet suitable for non-technical users.

The code repository lives at upspin.googlesource.com and is mirrored to GitHub.

Note that the Upspin project does not use GitHub pull requests, and that we use the issue tracker for bug reports and proposals only.
