Hello Jean-Baptiste,

Running the latest revision in the distribution, (4895:ad933d160a7c), I have 
followed your steps precisely and do not see the behavior you state.  Making 
sure that the user foobar is not an admin user, the only upload options I see 
are 'Upload files', 'Upload a directory of files' and 'Import datasets from 
your current history'.  I'm not sure what changes may have occurred between 
your rev and the latest available regarding this behavior, but could you update 
and see if the behavior changes?  Let us know if you still see problems.

Thanks,

Greg Von Kuster
