 Keywords:  drop-upload    |  Launchpad Bug:
---------------------------+----------------------------
 During the Tahoe-LAFS summit, I (David-Sarah) implemented a prototype of a
 dropbox-like uploader: if you write a file into a given directory, it will
 upload it to a given Tahoe URI.

 Its current limitations are:
  * it only handles one directory, not including subdirectories
  * the behaviour when multiple files are put in the directory (or the same
 file more than once) has not been well-tested so far
  * it doesn't have unit tests or docs (I will write those)
  * it must be given the URI of a mutable directory to upload to; it would
 be more usable to allow that to be a path that may start with an alias
