Download to Cloud

Add an option to download the file to the cloud. Instead of downloading the file to the user's hard drive, the file would be downloaded to online cloud storage. Google Drive, DropBox or some other online cloud storage website.

"Url droplet" allows users to download a file to DropBox, but it does not support downloads that are redirected. It does not work with some legal mp3 download websites.

Yeah! Like CarotDAV with GDrive+OneDrive+DropBox+WebDAV Upload + Download. Maybe integrated with the planned FTP-Client-Feature, like SmartFTP 8! With Dual-Pane + Download/Upload-Queue-Panel.
As CarotDAV is open source AFAIK, maybe this could be more easily integrated than it appears..

This would require downloading the data to your machine, then immediately uploading it again, slowing the process substantially. Direct download to those services is only possible if a third party server is available to act as an intermediary, or if the cloud storage provider have the ability to directly download the content.

I'm pretty sure that "automatically upload after downloading" isn't what y'all want there, no?
