 * This is a feature request regarding Digital Downloads (or, gallery images in 
   general).
 * Having the ability to host the digital download file (or all of sunshine’s gallery
   images) on an external, third party site (google drive, dropbox, AWS/S3, etc.)
   would be a very welcomed feature. In order to keep my client’s hosting costs 
   down (while maintaining reliability, speed and security) , I;m usually forced
   to chose a hosting plan that is fairly limited on storage. Usually, this isn’t
   a problem. However, once you start hosting hi-res digital files/zips, the storage
   requirements of each site skyrockets. Being able to integrate a third-party file
   hosting service into Sunshine, would be incredibly useful.
 * With that being said (and without diving too deep into the code), are there any
   actions/hooks available (payment received, paypal/stripe payment success, etc.)
   that I would be able to use to then kick off an automated (sunshine based) email
   to my client informing them on where to go to download the ZIP file?
 * After a few minutes of brainstorming, I’m thinking of adding a few additional
   custom fields to each gallery/post. This way, I’m able to save each gallery’s
   ZIP file location and any other pertinent info that I may need later down the
   road.
 * Anyways, I’m curious to hear your feedback.
 * Thanks!

 * This is something I am working towards. The recent release of the Digital Downloads
   2.0 add-on was a big step towards offsite file storage (specifically working 
   towards AWS first). However, it is not yet available.
 * Web hosts like HostGator are cheap and don’t have limits on file storage. Most
   Sunshine users so far don’t say they have any issues with file storage.
 * There is this hook available:
 * do_action( ‘sunshine_add_order_end’, $order_id, $data, $order_items );
