Hmm that sounds interesting. Do you know how persistent the local cache
is? If I do something like: open some (large) remote file (hence the
large file is transferred to the client), reboot the client, and reopen
the large file again. Is the large file then transferred again?
(assuming no other clients changed the file in the mean time). The
website is not particularly specific about the caching policy. If the
file is only transferred once it could be useful to sorta kinda fake
something like dropbox.
