+#### Example of a custom attachment storage type
+This example adds a custom type for the `attachmentStorage` option called `"original"` that simply returns the original attachment URL without rehosting it in any way.
+```js
+module.exports = function({ attachments }) {
+  attachments.addStorageType('original', attachment => {
+    return { url: attachment.url };
+  });

 The API can change in non-major releases during this early stage. Keep an eye on [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) for any changes.
