File Redirect Module: Use File API?

Posted by jeff00seattle on June 8, 2010 at 6:06pm

First, I am looking for a module that allows the admin setup that all file uploads by users are redirected to a storage location outside of the Drupal website.

However, if such module does not exist, then as a head-start, is File API the best starting place?: http://drupal.org/node/555118

Are there known File API samples or tutorials?

Thanks

Agreed that I will need to create a customized solution.

However, which hooks do I need to implement that will capture any document upload and redirect the upload to my custom off-premise storage solution?
