How about making the file storage in to a seperate API which can interface with many types of data storage methods?

Each storage method could be a seperate module which filemanager.module can interface with.

Example storage methods would be:

* traditional webserver filesystem
* database BLOB
* remote file storage, as provided by API's such as http://www.openomy.com/ or many of the ones listed on http://www.ghacks.net/2005/11/22/free-file-host-list-november-2005/

While this is a good idea, I personally don't have need of it. I'm more than willing to incorporate a patch if anyone is willing to write it.
