Hi Lucas,

I am heaving the exact same problem...
I created a simpledamapi, that uses the classes tx_dam and tx_dam_db,
however inserting images into DAM from the fronend seems to
be a problem.

Is there anything going to be released OS, or can you just tell
in words how you solved the FE user upload problem?

kind regards,
