Say that files can live in Google Cloud Storage too
Three lines still told readers S3 was the only option, which stopped being true and is the sort of thing somebody chooses a different product over. The install guide's storage section now says what each backend is for, that Test connection exists and is worth using before switching uploads over, and — the part people actually get wrong — that choosing a backend applies to new uploads and moves nothing that is already stored.
