2) DropN900 allows only one file to be uploaded at a time.

At the very basic level the sharing plugin could use Dropbox's default folders if that would make developing it easier, because my main objective would simply to get the file "as is" into the internet for later vierwing.
I'm sure it's possible, have you had any contact with the application's developer about this? He may know more about it or explain how you could achieve this.

What's the main use case you are trying to solve here?

Is it just a wire free way of getting files (photos) from your n900 to your desktop/laptop without altering the source file? I pretty much always use ssh for this these days - speeds over wireless are pretty good and there's no internet transmission involved. You can even do this with a laptop and n900 when you are out and about with MobileHotSpot or similar. Don't worry ssh doesn't mean using the terminal exclusively, I use a standard file explorer from my Linux machines (nautilus or dolphin support this beautifuly).

If you actually want to get the files up into the 'cloud' untouched then yes you need something based oon a service like DropBox.

I agree a sharing plugin for DropBox sounds good - I know I'd use it - but it may already be feasible without the plugin. Copy files to DropBox sync folder?

Sorry, it's not a direct answer to your question but it may prove helpful to you or someone else.
