This would be best, but unfortunately it's not yet usable for large files -- it has to read the entire file into memory on the client. This post discusses a better interface that's being deployed:

But I don't think it actually addresses our use-case. We'd want the ability to slice up a File object into Blobs and handle those separately, and I don't see it in the specs. I'll ask. Anyway, I don't think this is feasible just yet, sadly.
