Yes, it is possible in our system as well:

1) User encrypts file and uploads as attachment to an email.
2) Server that is giving the mail service, detaches the attachment and
uploads it to acmeattic via our middleware API (the web application).
3) Account data is mapped to the email service provided - i.e. email
sent to the server can be signed with the private key.
4) Both the service provider, and the AcmeAttic server can verify this
signature, as they have access to the user's public key (from the AA
server).

Of course, this could be an added service later on, once we have a
stable release!
