External storage for host attachment

[Akam]

there is amazon and digitalocean option is available, but what if someone wants to use self hosted storage server?

If it’s physically attached to your web host, that’s easy enough… just symlink or mount it to the correct directory.

Doesn’t really qualify as a suggestion though…

lets say i have sever from host 1. and i have storage server from host 2. if one storage server filled-up get another storage server 3

assume you have 100tb data. one single server hdd won't work. you have to use multiple server for that purpose.

You are talking about something that normally would be handled at the operating system level, not the application level, so there's nothing special you need to do in XenForo to be able to write to whatever mount point you have on your server. For example maybe you use Gluster to spread data around multiple servers for both sharding and redundancy. But you don't need to somehow set that up or configure it in XenForo to use it since the application is just reading/writing to the filesystem as far as it's concerned.
