Ability to store files in a CDN network or a S3 type server #1749

I use Amazon EC2 but I am unable to store files in S3 server. We need functionality where by we can use the storage of servers in a different place like Google Cloud, Amazon S3 etc. instead of worrying about Hard Disk Capacity.

IMHO a generic cloud storage backend with the ability to let files expire to keep costs low would be really nice!

EDIT: I managed to store the media files in s3 via s3fs-fuse but it's more of a hack 😅

Yeah, FUSE filesystems are a thing but it would be nice to actually let everyone download directly from the storage service instead of the download being essentially proxied through the homeserver.

libcloud supports AWS S3, OpenStack Swift, Google Cloud Storage etc.
