Hi,

I have been developing a project in c# where i will have to store lots of videos and images. I know that I can do that by giving a path in database and save them in folders or secondly, I can do the same by storing the path or url of videos in database. But my problem is that I can not store that much images and videos in a folder nor can I save the path in database as some of that videos will be directly uploaded into the application by website users. What do I do? which is the best way to store images and videos in an application?
