On the FileField, we have the option to define the default storage that
the project uses globally with the option to override it at a field level
manually.

It would be great to extend the same functionality to the upload_to
argument as well. In some projects, we do find ourselves manually
overriding it for every file & image field and it is one more check to
remember / check during PRs.

It would be great if we could define a DEFAULT_UPLOAD_TO =
"callable_or_string" so that it simplifies working on a project when
collaborating with others

I did it ask around the forum and was told having a custom field was the
only way to go at the moment (ref: https://forum.djangoproject.com/t
