A problem every team deploying AI agents hits early: you want an agent to read one folder of documents — not your whole drive, not forever, and revocably. With Convex 0.8.8, DLFS drives can be shared exactly that way: a signed capability naming a DID URL like did:key:z6Mk<alice>/dlfs/docs, delegatable in chains, attenuated at every hop, verified against any DID method — and no central account system anywhere.

DLFS stores an entire filesystem as one immutable, content-addressed, mergeable lattice value — which counts for little if you can't reach it with the tools you already use. Convex 0.8.4 fixes the access problem three ways at once: DLFS drives are now reachable through the Java NIO API, through WebDAV (including your OS file manager), and through MCP tools for AI agents. One drive, three doors.

DLFS — the Decentralised Lattice File System — now supports sparse files up to 9.2 exabytes (Long.MAX_VALUE bytes). Creating one is instant. Writing a single byte into the middle takes microseconds. Here's how we made that work with a handful of elegant tricks in Convex's immutable data layer.
