Store file uploads on filesystem instead of DB?

Hi,

Is there an option to store file uploads on the filesystem (such as the “uploads” directory), rather than as blobs in the database? I’d like to be able to get to them through FTP rather than through the plugin.

Is there a reason to store them in the DB versus the filesystem?

Thanks.
