Sync Gateway does not store attachments as files. They’re stored in the same 
Couchbase Server bucket (=database) as the documents. This isn’t an ideal 
solution either, as it limits their size to  20MB, but there are no scalability 
issues.

Eventually we plan to have Sync Gateway use an external filesystem for 
attachments, but it’ll be a distributed filesystem (possibly CBFS 
<https://github.com/couchbaselabs/cbfs>) that can scale to the capacity we need.
