The files API acts as a metadata catalog that:
Stores file metadata (filename, path, size, type, etc.) in the database
Supports multiple storage backends (local, S3, Azure, GCS) via the StorageBackend enum
Uses file_path field to store the actual location (S3 URI, local path, etc.)
Key Benefits of Database Registration
Fast querying: Filter by entity, type, date without scanning S3
Metadata enrichment: Add descriptions, tags, relationships
Access control: Track permissions and public/private status
Integration: Link files to projects/runs
Existing S3 files remain in place
Gain all the API benefits (search, filtering, metadata)
One-time setup process
Future files can be registered as they're created
