Personally, I haven't heard of any such projects or truly portable clients other than your webbrowser for those services.

I've looked at some of these services, namely iDrive and Freespace. Both of them use Javascript and cookies to present the files and store your login information, and iDrive uses the https protocol. All of these issues should be taken care of by the LWP module. Writing the actual code to parse out the directory contents and manipulate them will be tough work, as you will have to design an uniform interface to these services.

I'm sorry to desillusion you, but the only "true" hacking taking place would be in staring at some Javascript embedded in some HTML to extract the filenames and file URLs from there :)
