Hi Erwin, The WebUploadCache is only used for uploading attachments before you've created an article (or a ticket). After that, if you're working on a ticket, the attachment is transferred to the ArticleStorage, which can be configured to be inside the database or on the file system. For FAQ entries however, the attachments are always stored in the database. I think it would be conceivable that we update the storage location for these attachments to also be on the file system or database, to make it configurable for administrators. Generally there are lots more tickets than there are FAQ entries, so storing attachments from tickets on the file system helps to keep the database nice and small. When you would have lots of attachments to FAQ entries I can also see the need to move these attachments out of the database.
If your only objective is to be able to store large attachments in the FAQ; you should increase the max_allowed_packet size in the mysql configuration; and you should be good.
