Almost all downloads these days are over HTTP or native apps. Probably for the better that we let FTP go. If we do a custom one, its should have benefits the popular solution doesn't have. Maybe performance (eg Tsunami, UDT) or security (stuff with TLS). Ton of solutions for availability with existing stuff so I leave it off.

The big thing we seem to be missing (likely because "everyone" is using some kind of _drive service) is uploading.

  HTTP does support uploading. But even that aside, there are plenty of better protocols for uploading than FTP. Eg SFTP, p2p, heck even cloud storage services if you want something easy for the layman.
