Description

Feature-request:

As in #2631, i think many of us would love to have a clean type of "GridFS" for referencing files/chunks saved in mongoDB as GridFS.

Is this wanted as official mongoose type?
Is the implementation already on it's way?
Because i would love to help creating such a clean schema type, so that we can store files.

I now tried 2 npm packages for that, but both are really not "optimal" and are very rarely updated.

Would love to get a response/opinion from @vkarpov15 on this :)
