I'm working on an app with some Scribd-like capability. I was going to put user files in c:/web2py/applications/myapp/uploads/users/userid/ fileid.

I would prefer not to keep the whole file system flat under uploads as I could end up with many hundreds of thousands of files, which could encroach on OS limitations.
