reasonable.  And also RXAFS_RenameFile with the dropbox as a target.

Well, it's not that simple.

Consider what happens if some write RPCs are dropped. You have to allow holes to be filled.

Perhaps a time limit would also make sense (if file's modification
time is more than 1 hour prior to now, refuse all storedata's, even
beyond the end of the file).

You need to track the real modtime and not mtime, then.
