GUI Upload Function in Story Creation for Photo Galleries to be Added to the Albums folder Automatically

The Picasa enhancement is awesome and our users love it, but there is some concern that we are loosing control of galleries, which when removed from Picasa causes us to lose content. So, is it possible to have a GUI function in the creation of Stories that would allow a user to upload images to a folder which they name which sits on the server (in the FTP directory)? This way the admins wouldn't have to manually create the folders in Albums for users who either don't have a Picasa account or aren't planning on keeping the images persistent. Thanks!
