It is solved if you use a cloud provider yes. But it also makes it easy to solve for the local storage: we can handle it completely in the local adapter. (Maybe with a fallback check for BC reasons)

Yes, it can be done.
About backwards compatibility, i think it may not be necessary, i have an idea.

Interesting, I hope you tested it.
By the way, what if the board gets upgraded from a previous version? Will the existing attachments (all in one folder) still work?

Not much really

The number of subfolders used is configurable, and by default is 0 (no subfolders)

So, no transition from 0 to 2 subfolders and thus no use for the existing forums?

If you change the configuration (you change the number or subdirectories or the mail directory, or even the storage system), all files will be moved from one configuration to another (but sill isnt done)
