Hi Gregory

Thats what I suspected, have you thought about this... if I am running a DropBox service on the cloud, and want to append say a 1k text update from a Logging activity or a twitter update, your suggestion is that I download a 50Mb file, add 1kb and then upload a 50.001Mb file

I think you would find a lot of people would shake your hand if you implemented a APPEND feature, we are not the only guys and gals who want to do this increment and GoogleDrive now does to great effect, and even Microsoft DOS 3.0 supported it so you would be in good company.

PS my cloud credits burn off quickly if we use the current system, would love it if you adopt this APPEND
