Where to store user's media

I have a web-service google cloud. It consists of:

  1. load balancer;
  2. group of instances (django code);
  3. sql service;

But I don't know where to store user's files. Should I use separate media server, or google cloud storage?

How do you usually solve such problems?

Well it will depend on what is your scenario and your requirements.

If you want full ECM capaibility for your files like versioning, different renditions, security policies , metadata etc then some ECM vendors like Alfresco, Sharepoint (cloud or on premise) would be a solution.

If you only want to store the files and retrieve them and also with some metadata then using a File Storage, plain Cloud Storage like Google cloud, Dropbox or even an object storage like S3/Swift could be solution.

Object storage fares better when concurrency is higher and you have requirements for scalabalitiy .If performance is a concern then file storage will do better.
