Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When using an object storage backend for primary storage, I'd like to see the see this reflected in the user console, in the Storage location field. This field should report a clear indication that this user storage is defined on a object storage server (preferably the server name) and the bucket (important when using multibuckets).

Describe the solution you'd like
Users whose storage is defined on an object storage backend are incorrectly given a data directory-like Storage location value

Describe alternatives you've considered
No alternatives

Additional context

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue, so start by locating the user console's Storage location field and the object-storage primary backend handling. Done means object-storage users see a clear server and bucket indication there, including multibucket configurations.
