We ran into several issues when one PHB wanted this: File size limitation. Default size limit is 50mb for SharePoint. This can be modified, but we did not.
File type exclusion. There is a laundry list of file types that are prohibited from SP by default. This can be modified, and we did allow some. Special characters. There are several characters that are not allowed in file/folder names. This can not be modified. URL length. We found out that SP would allow you to upload files/folders in excess of the 400 character limit, but then the files/folders become inaccessible due to URL being too long. The fix was to browse a lower level folder and reduce the character count.
