Storage.files table should have a metadata column (like auth.users)

[Sheena]

Since storage.files is not supposed to be edited in any way other than for permissions/relationships, it would be useful to add a metadata column like on the auth.users table for arbitrary data that needs to be added while uploading and might need to be used to process the file. (It looks like the actual files themselves don't accept object metadata during upload like most S3 uploads so that may be a separate but related issue.)

I am not against adding a users_metadata field of type jsonb so users can add their own metadata if needed.

@elitan, thoughts?

[Nuno Pato]

@dbarrosop let's call it metadata as in the users table.

[Johan Eliasson]

I think naming it metadata for consistency is good. I'm also fine with such a new column.
