How to avoid saving uploaded files, in forms, inside the DB as encoded text #95

The wp_cf7dbplugin_submits table can become unmanageable, since it stores attachments from forms as embedded data inside the DB. Is there a way to avoid this and rather save the attachments elsewhere (uploads, custom folder etc) while keeping only an url reference in the DB itself of it?

@mdsimpson any input on this? many other users have issues with that table, could you please help?
