       # Move the file to the uploader's store path.
       #
+      # By default, store!() uses copy_to(), which operates by copying the file 
+      # from the cache to the store, then deleting the file from the cache.  
+      # If move_to_store() is overriden to return true, then store!() uses move_to(),
+      # which simply moves the file from cache to store.  Useful for large files.
+      # 
       # === Parameters
       #
       # [file (CarrierWave::SanitizedFile)] the file to store
       #
       # === Returns
       #
       # [CarrierWave::SanitizedFile] a sanitized file
