 * Hi,
    It would be useful having some options to organize files in server. May 
   be allow the user to set a custom path. For example:
 * /uploads/buddydrive/user_type/user_login/filename.pdf
    /uploads/buddydrive/xprofile_field_data/
   user_id/filename.pdf
 * So we have a clear files tree which we can download for backup, view, send…
 * Regards,
    Fernando

 * Hi,
 * Well, it’s complicating the way files url are stored in DB. I’ll need to check
   this.
    Thanks for your feedback.

 * If all files are stored in the same folder, file name is changed if another file
   with same name exists. It may be confusing for users.
 * What about a default behaviour like this?
 * – uploads (wp folder)
    – buddydrive (folder) – user_id-user_login (folder) – 
   ALL USER FILES – user_id-user_login (folder) – ALL USER FILES . . .
 * So existing file names only get changed if file name and owner match.
 * No path customization allowed by admin.
    Is it easier?
