I have a rails app that accepts file uploads and I wanted to know the best way to have common storage between servers. Since we have a number of windows applications we have used samba in the past, but as we build pure linux apps I would like to do this the best possible way.
We are expecting large amounts of data, so would need to scale this across multiple file servers.

By default in the development environment, Active Storage stores all uploaded images on your local disk in the storage subdirectory of the Rails application directory. That's the file you uploaded!
After creating a new application (or upgrading your application to Rails 5.2), run bin/rails active_storage:install to generate a migration that creates these tables. Use bin/rails db:migrate to run the migration. active_storage_attachments is a polymorphic join table that stores your model's class name.
Active Storage uses two tables in your application's database named active_storage_blobs and active_storage_attachments . After creating a new application (or upgrading your application to Rails 5.2), run rails active_storage:install to generate a migration that creates these tables.
I've used paperclip with an S3 backend.

If you want to have all the data in-house than a networked file-system might be the way to go. Try setting up AFS it scales pretty good.
