There are several products that store underlying file data on disk, and metadata in proxy objects in the ZODB: http://www.zope.org/Members/MacGregor/ExtFile http://www.zope.org/Members/arielpartners/ExternalFile Or, create custom products that do this to fit your needs. A good hypothetical example is if you wanted to store 60MB postscript files and manage thousands of these files; their metadata could be stored in the ZODB; you could write filters to make their text contents able to be indexed by a Catalog. What is stored in ZODB (either in a file-proxy object or in a Catalog) is meaningfully queriable information. What kind of data are you trying to store?

What i want to do is to allow our users(developers) to upload/download their contents to the webser without having to import huge files into ZODB. These files could reach up to Gigabytes per user. Does anyone have any suggestion on how i should handle this?
