In my sites I keep the user-uploaded content inside webroot/files/

Then each type of file has its own subfolder (ie. images, videos,
documents, etc)

I just make sure I don't touch anything in that folder when I upload
new files. If you are doing some kind of automated upload, then you
could probably put that folder in an exclude list of some sort.

You could store them somewhere arbitrary outside of the app, but you
are pretty much on your own in regards to managing those files (and
streaming binary files through php if you want to access via web).

I also use a slightly different folder structure than the default, as
shown below

/app/
/cake/
/public_html/

or sometimes

/projectname/app/
/projectname/cake/
/public_html/
