What I'm wondering is the best place to put user uploaded files. Currently, I have specified the /sites/default/files  folder. This is the setting in the administer->file system configuration. The temporary directory is set to tmp.

So, when users, who is allowed to create new content and upload images are active, do I get a folder with a bazillion images in it? Is there a way of cleaning house? I notice that duplicate images get a suffix that keeps filenames from being duplicated.

It seems odd that the uploaded images from the entire site would all end up in a single folder.

Perspective would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Bill
