Description

I think it would be very interesting to be able to separate the storage of the previews of the main storage.

Right now you can define an s3 storage as main and everything will be saved in that storage.

My proposal is to be able to define separate storages for main storage and previews. In this way, for example you could have the original files in local and the previews in an s3.

Thanks

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing S3 and main-storage configuration and the preview storage path. Done means originals and previews can use separate configurable locations, including local originals with previews stored in S3.
