you might also have a look at wuala.com. they have been the first which encrypted cloud storage.
they do - afaik - a client-side encryption and have their src partially opened, developed at ETH zürich.

i know, this doesn't help the server-side-encryption, but you might get some ideas from the concept.
they use a web- or desktop-client for uploading. 
since they encrypt every file (and add keys for other users which are allowed to read the files), this opens the possibility for  
encrypted & plain files...

since wuala is not very well know, I thougt I give you the hint...
