File browser to the Internet...

Media Browser

The Media module provides a file browser for your web site that allows editors to easily access and seamlessly insert local files and remote streams into fields and text areas. Combined with the Styles and Wysiwyg modules, this solution harnesses the power of Drupal 7's new file/stream system.
Media Entity

An extensible system, this also provides a fieldable media asset entity, allowing the easy addition of any fields to media, such as text fields for metadata. In addition, you can customize these fields for each "type" of media, e.g. Image, Audio, Document, Video.
Pluggable system w/ 3rd party integration

Several modules, such as Media: YouTube and Media: Flickr, plug into the provided API, allowing an editor to browse through remote YouTube videos or Flickr photos as though they were part of the local file system.

Pensem neste módulo como se fosse a evolução do Embedded Media Field, com o FileField, ImageField, AudioField, VideoField, FileField Sources, Insert, WYSIWYG ImageField, IMCE e outros módulos à mistura :)

Está apenas disponível para o Drupal 7.
De momento já é possível fazer upload do computador, da web (HTTP) e escolher imagem da galeria existente; aplica regras de selecção de ficheiros (presets incluidos: image, video, audio, other); integra com ImageCache, Styles, WYSIWYG; mas ainda tem bug que impedem a visualização dos conteudos.

Talvez seja totalmente utilizável dentro de pouco tempo.
