In some environments, you have to store the document in a db because you are on a large network. That path may not correspond to others say viewing an XRay and getting an opinion from a team in Japan, Australia, etc.
You also have to have killer backups of that folder where they are kept as well. Our rule is to convert all "visual" objects to pdf and insert that into the db. I have to store vendor publications on carcinogens with our raw materials, and have plants all over the world have access to that if a customer asks for it.
