After we move the old library over why would we ever need this  
feature?  Why should we as librarians have the power to move around  
files in other's accounts?  It has far more negative possibilities  
than the instances where we really need it.  I have never needed this  
feature in the two years I've been doing this.  I'd rather see  
thumbnails generated and lots of other features first.
