if this were 20 yrs ago when computing was still voodoo for a great many (c. 8% penetration in the home), i'd say go for it but terms like upload/download and import/export are more or less part of modern vernacular - for ex: upload and download are now found in many dictionaries.
because of this, you should avoid trying to define or create new metaphors for terms that the vast majority of people actually understand. just my 2 cents...
