Dyanmically changing Django Storage?

[zweb]

I am planning to use django-storages. It uses django settings, as

DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.s3boto.S3BotoStorage'

I read it is bad practice to change django settings during runtime. I am not using Django's FileField.

During run time, based on file size and type,  I want to use a different storage backend. How to do it?

write a storage backend proxy that picks which 'real' backend to use
for each file.

note that during upload, you have to start storing before knowing the
full size of the file.

you can define the storage for each FileField when declaring your model, it will use the default unless you specify something else.

Does your use case have the same model using different storages?

I suggest you make different models, each using the storage you want, 

Lets say you have two models, S3File and LocalFile

when uploading the file you then decide if it is a S3File object or a LocalFile object
