It would be nice if they could create projects on their local machines, then upload to file-storage with hyperlinks intact -- although maybe this out of the scope of file-storage.
Not at all out of the scope! Your students may upload the projects on their local machines to file storage, albeit one file at the time and as long as they make sure to keep the same structure and folder/file names as on the local box, hyperlinks should be kept intact. I realize it isn't very _practical_ to upload files one file at a time, though ... which is why I've been working on a bulk upload feature to enable upload of zip, rar, tar, etc. archives with automatic extraction and "inserting" of files and folders under any folder in the File Storage.
That will not be ready until 5.1, though.
