Module: Paperclip::Storage::Filesystem

The default place to store attachments is in the filesystem. Files on the local filesystem can be very easily served by Apache without requiring a hit to your app. They also can be processed more easily after they‘ve been saved, as they‘re just normal files. There is one Filesystem-specific option for has_attached_file.

path: The location of the repository of attachments on disk. This can (and, in almost all cases, should) be coordinated with the value of the url option to allow files to be saved into a place where Apache can serve them without hitting your app. Defaults to ":rails_root/public/:class/:attachment/:id/:style_:filename". By default this places the files in the app‘s public directory which can be served directly. If you are using capistrano for deployment, a good idea would be to make a symlink to the capistrano-created system directory from inside your app‘s public directory. See Paperclip::Attachment#interpolate for more information on variable interpolaton.
```
  :path => "/var/app/attachments/:class/:id/:style/:filename"
