Lack of progress bar (which would be good for large files)

[jadeqwang]

I was uploading a 170MB file to FileDrop, and there's no way for me to tell that it's working. It just looks like I didn't drop it. However, I am able to tell that it's probably working because of the lack of rate-limiting (e.g., because I'm taking up all the upload bandwidth right now).

The solution for this is probably related to the multiple-file issue... there should be a state-tracking view (a la Google Drive) for all of the in-flight upload operations.

@zombiezen as a random idea, I would totally attend a Go meetup and work on this if you were around to answer questions. So if the SF Go meetup has "project night"-type things, or the Sandstorm meetup has one soon, I would be happy to hack on this then if you were around.

Probably other users would make the same offer, too!

@akosel and I have been looking at this for a bit, and I think we have a way forward (see the conversation on #4).

At this point, I don't actually see any server-side changes needed, so if you have some AngularJS knowledge, feel free to jump in!

Please, can someone implement the upload progress indicator and bulk upload? I would like to use The Fild Drop app on Sandstorm but it is quite crippled without them!
Thanks,

Sorry, this has been blocked on me. @akosel is working on an implementation and I haven't had time to review it. I'll try to get to it this week.

Any updates on this? This feature is almost a requirement for a file drop service. If the files are small they would be easy to email. Something like this is generally targeted for sharing large files. Which it can't do very well at the moment.

I reviewed @akosel's #9 PR. We're still working on it.

As a workaround, you can use the misc/upload.sh script, which uses curl to upload. I think it would need to be tweaked to show the progress bar.
