There is no official folder for uploaded files.
For long-term storage I have used app/uploads with sub-folders for different models and plugins to have a bit of organisation and less problems with clashing names. app/uploads/user/a_profile_image.jpg app/uploads/message/an_attachement.pdf (I generally prefer to keep the orignal names and only change them if they clash.) For "session files" that are only stored for a certain process or transaction I have taken to using app/tmp/uploads. This folder is also cleaned from old files ever now and then.
