You are in luck, this is possible! Please refer to the documentation:

https://github.com/CollectionFS/Meteor-CollectionFS

In the Storage Adapter section is refers to cfs:filesystem. This allows you to save to the servers filesystem rather than a collection via GridFS. The Adapter and its documentation can be found here:

https://github.com/CollectionFS/Meteor-CollectionFS/tree/devel/packages/filesystem

The implementation is fairly straight forward with the documentation.

As it points out in the documentation, you can add something like this to your common.js file:

var Images = new FS.Collection("images", {
    stores: [new FS.Store.FileSystem("images", {path: "~/uploads"})]
});

This creates an FS.Collection called images which stores the images to a folded called uploads in your project and creates a collection to tie those uploads to. Structucing your project is a bit outside of the scope of your question, but you can get more information about that here:
