    @gilv i think `att_store/2` should be `att_store/3` with `Options` param so that we can have different drivers for different databases and/or documents. `get_backend_driver` should try to read it from Options mentioned above and get it from config ( maybe add a section `external_storage_drivers` for mapping) with default to `active_store`. the `Options` would also allow passing specific driver options.
    thoughts ?

> For attachment-heavy applications storing the attachments in separate files significantly eases compaction problems.
