I know about those, and they don't do what I'm looking for. At least, not as I understand them.

I'm looking at the next architectural level up. For example, creating an md5 or sha1 hash directory under a file root, where file uploads can be organized in yyyy/mm/dd folders. And providing the linkage from the user account in the SQL db, to their binary file directory.

I was hoping someone else had packaged this kind of support for binary-objects-stored-in-files in a nice and purty application. :-)

I'll chew on this more. Maybe a custom storage system backend is the way to go. (http://tinyurl.com/yjh7st4)
