File Storage Location (Ruby on Rails)

I am new to Rails, I wanted to create a site to upload files: music, video, pictures, text. What is the best way to store files? I read about different methods: Database as a file, Amazon S3?

There will be many files ranging in size from 1 kb to 20 MB each.

Thank!

I would recommend you use amazon s3 to store your files. This is the best.
