Label "Swift" in cloud connections is poor - should be "Economy" #164

Or at least indicate that this is what is known as "Economy File."

But isn't S3 Economy too? Perhaps the naming convention of the storage locations could be less overlapping/more creative?

Fast could be: gazelle S3 could be: well... AWS S3 Swift could be: dungeon Just thoughts.

Basically, our users often don't know what the meaning of these words really are anyway.

Swift is Economy Local and S3 is Economy Cloud.

I agree that we should use the names that are least confusing. At the same time, Motuz is not just for the Hutch (other institutions have deployed it) so not everyone will want to use our naming conventions. Therefore these things should be configurable in a config file.

Exactly. These things hardly mean much to our own users, let alone elsewhere. Our users COULD learn that "Economy Cloud" is AWS S3 and that'd be a-ok. In fact, I don't know many researcher types who even know that AWS S3 is considered Economy Cloud. They'd be fine with S3 and Swift.
