That might work for a public folder in a user's home directory, but I was looking for a mechanism that doesn't involve gutting all security or relying on users to correctly set permissions our groups. I could tolerate adding a key to a user .ssh/authorized_keys file that gives www-data user command="sftp-internal" access if django-storages sftp backend allows multiple accounts (or even as root if properly root jailed to /home). Just feel I'm going the long way around the barn and am missing an obvious way to for web-based file management for user's files...
