where is the best place to save images from users upload

Question

I have a website that shows galleries. Users can upload their own content from the web (by entering a URL) or by uploading a picture from their computer.

Answer 1

One way is to store the image in a database table with a varbinary field.

Another way would be to store the image in the App_Data folder, and create a subfolder for each user (~/App_Data/[userid]/myImage.png).

For both approaches you'd need to create a separate action method that makes it possible to access the images.
