File saving in elixir

Hey I am wondering that what is the staple way to save files in elixir, I am mainly insterested in storing pictures and audio files, that are sent by a client application, and then these can be requested back from the server.
I would have the backend - my elixir app hosted on a vps, so I would prefer to store this data there too.
What are you guys using?

@benonymus: I believe that depends on lots of things, for example:

  1. I’m not sure, but services like YouTube are using separate servers for storage which I think could be easier for some maintenance scenarios. Serving 2 millions WebSocket connection and server big files from separate server seems reasonable for me.

  2. However for video blog I would probably choose same server, because in less complicated projects without millions of active channels should not have a bigger problem.

Of course there are only examples and most probably there are lots of things for further consideration.
