Add ability to manage model source files
Add ability to link astroprint to Dropbox or add model source file storage to astroprint. This would allow all files for a print to be managed in one place. Integration with Dropbox would make things even easier and possibly relieve the need for large storage capacity on astroprint servers.

Not sure what the battle is between Dropbox and Google Drive, Google Drive wins hands down. I've used both, and Dropbox is used a fraction of the places Google Drive is, gives you less storage, and is a pain to share files with people who don't use it. Please integrate with Google Drive. It would greatly streamline the process and save you guys TBs of storage space.

thsi idea is fairly broad (i like it that way)
some source management i'd like to see regarding designs found online:
- import ALL files from a source (e.g. thingiverse) as a single project in astroprint
- keep a link to the source URL and possibly auto-update files as the STLs at the source link are updated
- enable some meta data for each STL (e.g. print 4x of one STL, print another without supports, another requires raft, etc) such that future re-slicing can include these flags (even if just as a big note inside the slicer dialogs)
- provide a scheme to upload a "makes" entry to online STL repos (e.g. thingiverse) with pictures and/or timelapses of the prints
