File uploads - storing files

Currently the files are stored as binary string inside UserFiles under contents field.
This isn't ideal since base64 encoding for transmission increases the file size by 33%, therefore slowing down both uploading & downloading process.
Instead the file should be compressed before transmission & stored as a zip using Strapi content media library.
To refer that to encryption process - after reading the file from users device (on frontend) the file could be combined into something like file.enc extension since it will be binary encoded string.
