Store documents in on-line briefcase

Web sites often store files directly in some folder of the file system. However, this may not be the most suitable way in all scenarios. Many of you might have used Yahoo Briefcase. It allows you to store any file on the server so that you can access it from anywhere. If you wish to provide such a facility in your web site then file system based storage and retrieval is tedious. Enforcing security and managing storage space quota becomes difficult. More elegant solution can be developed by storing files in database. This way you have full control on who is storing and retrieving files, storage space and usage statistics.
