Uploads - all stored in a single directory?

Are all uploads stored in a single directory /uploads ?

I've got masses of files in this one directory that looks like it's set to continue getting larger and larger (in both size and individual files) and I wondered about the long-term efficacy of this?

Would it be worth splitting files up into groups and creating sub-directories to store respective content, for example:

avatars
profilepics
attachments
thumbs
files
etc.

Additionally, possibly also breaking down the attachments folder into sub-folders based on some trackable criteria or other.

Just a thought ... :thumbsup:

Cheers,
Shaun :D

No the software creates date-based sub directories to break things up.

Ah, okay, so have I ended up with them all in once place due to converting from vB?

Yes, initial conversion wouldn't have broken them up by date, but moving forward we create monthly_5_2010 folders (example name) to break the uploads up by month.
