Hi,
zenfolio.com and similar cater to a professional market where people shoot photos for a living, e.g. events like weddings & ceremonies and they upload lots of big files.
And they offer an unlimited account for $50/year.
In this case it is always important how the average volume amortizes across a big user base.
Yep, an uploader would be neat but it gets really ugly really fast with many different platforms to think about.
The problem with an import from other services seems to be image quality (services like social networks) or API availability (photo hosting services for pro photographers).
The drag'n'drop is the best we could do on the "our effort"/"user convenience" scale for an MVP, I am definitely thinking hard about ways to get in images fast and in the original quality.
Maybe the right way is to focus on dropbox/backup storage imports.
If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them :)

There are good free dav-clients for windows now (and all the other os' have supported webdav for years). Webdav should be easier to integrate with an existing infrastructure based around http. edit: You might even easily create your own webdav-client for windows (the black sheep when it comes to dav-support), either working off existing dav-libraries, or possibly by throwing some money at an existing free/shareware project.
