[BACKEND] [DEFECT] Migrate media storage updater from Upload Thing to Cloudflare R2 #971
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There are too many issues with Upload Thing's support with Payload CMS (and the fact that they just carelessly make so many destructive changes), a lot of media issues are showing up which make media on our site very unreliable.
Describe the solution you'd like
Need to transition to Cloudflare R2 which offers a really good free tier plan AND is far more reliable.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Unless there are better options:
https://payloadcms.com/docs/upload/storage-adapters
