if you store things on the filesystem, you'll need to use a hashing
algorithm to bucket it effectively -- filesystems don't like too many
files in a directory.
you don't need to rename the file to a hash -- you could just store
that in the db -- but I'd advise renaming the file to a hash,

If you're worried about filename integrity (including full path) you can
hash the files and store the fingerprints. I've done that before; works

It depends really, if you believe Oracle(or any database vendor), they
claim serving file blobs from their database is more efficient then
the filesystem and has the benefit of transactional integrity. At
least that's how my day job rationalized storing images/pdf's and
other things related to a
Make sence. I will follow the kiss and keep it on the disc.
Much appreciated the anwers.

There are some advantages to having them in the database. Backups are just
a database dump away, which is really easy if you are on mysql. Also,
controlling access to files is the same as controlling access to anything
else that comes out of the db.

There is also transaction aware handling of files involved. Personally I
do store images and generated scaled images separately on disk, but
using repoze.filesafe for transaction integration.
