Right now, there's a limit to how big a file you can share with others. I am not sure how big the maximum file size allowed is, but 140MB gave me an error message.
I think this makes perfect sense, since storage is expensive and the developer can't afford to host all that data. Therefore I was thinking...
Allow a server to setup it's own storage solution, so that its users will be able to upload files to it and the server itself can decide a maximum file size and/or maximum total storage used by each user.
If we wanna take it even further, peer-to-peer technology could be implemented, completely removing the need for an external storage host. Users on a server, would be able to share files with each other in a distributed network.
