Description (last modified by Vasanth)

If the storage callable can be invoked during runtime similar to the "upload_to", it can allow us to choose the storage to use dynamically. This is particularly helpful for SaaS services which prefer maintaining independent storages per client/subdomain.

Something like, the following snippet where local_state.tenant is threading local() which holds the name of the tenant for each request

def tenant_storage(instance, filename):
    tenant = getattr(local_state, "tenant", "default")
    return storages[tenant]
