StorageService
StorageService mirrors flydrive's Disk API. Every method operates on the default disk unless you call .disk(name) first.
TIP
StorageModule handles this for you, but if you ever construct StorageService directly (e.g. outside of Nest DI, in a script) call await service.init() once before using it — that's the step that lazily resolves the driver(s) your config actually needs.
