As a rule of thumb usually I just store in DBs things that could be indexed and searchables. So most files end up in some file system (server, S3 Bucket, whatever) separated from the database.
Also I've worked with Strapi a lot.

What’s a good step by step to use the pictures from MongoDB? it’s a bit different from the typical schemas??

Which do you prefer? I can’t really find all that great of a “steps” on how to display the pictures from MongoDB.... Strapi made a separate folder (collection?) that the pictures are in, it’s not in my “Store” folder, it made a “pictures” folder.

I joined the slack page for Strapi, but the people overlooked my need for help.
