Probably not a perfect solution, but one thing I'm going with (for a text-editing application) is having a mailto link for the user to email me. Then, the server just needs to read the email through imap.

Assuming your expected uploads are not larger than the email servers can handle, this should work fine. (You can also check the email address against the email address from the user's certificate for validation)
