One functionality I miss from HipChat that I haven't found here, is the ability to copy files from your disk and paste them to the chat (or drag and drop), where they get automatically uploaded so all the chat members can view or download them. If Grove gets that, I'm sold.

Unless I'm missing some detail of what you're saying, HipChat already does that. I regularly drag screenshots into a conversation. Hipchat uploads them to S3.

There is a size restriction, though, which I've run up against more times than I can count, since I never seem to be able to remember that it's there.

What @napoleoncomplex meant was hipchat has the file upload feature, but grove doesn't. And he would move to grove if that was present.
