As we're getting ever closer to launch, we have decided to make a few last changes to our API in order to make it even more consistent.

One of these changes is to rename the `"/s3/upload"` and `"/sftp/upload"` Robots to`"/s3/store"` and `"/sftp/store"` respectively.

This is because the term 'upload' overlaps with the vocabulary that we use to describe file uploads in our system.

For now, the old aliases will still continue to work, but you should try to update to the new names right away. We will remove the aliases within a few weeks.
