web2py renames all uploaded files in order to prevent directory traversal attacks and to prevent access of known filenames. Once you do that, you need a way to identify the renamed file on the file system, so the database is used for that purpose. If you just want to directly store an uploaded file on the file system without renaming the file or involving a database, you can do that with a line or two of Python code.
