That seems like a sensible idea. So, this would happen if you would
upload files larger than a certain size? I might imagine that it would
also be handy to offer alternatives to uploading by HTTP to the
'drop-box server', such as FTP or maybe SFTP. Even though uploading
via HTTP seems to be very common these days you still have the problem
that you might accidentally close the browser window after uploading
95% of your 1GB YouTube movie :)
