Web app

When client wants to transfer a file:

client pings regions in available provider to find provider/region with optimal latency
client sends request to server to initiate file upload, payload includes filename and other metadata also includes preferred provider and region
server creates blob in provider/region under the user's account, blob has unique path
server stores file and blob metadata in db
server generates secure upload url and sends response to client
client uses secure upload URL to upload blocks of the blob
client will send update to server when upload is done
client could send periodic updates to server on upload progress
