Description
Hello to everybody, the file upload feature based on file system puts all uploaded files in the specified path in a flat fashion. As the number of files increases, performances get worse and eventually rocketchat hits the limits of max files per directory of the file system. A hierarchical structure (such as php sessions implementations) with a parametric configurable depth would allow to upload a greater number of files in a more efficient way.
Could this feature be evaluated for future enhancement?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
