Things have changed, but at one time, we were using RT as our ticketing system (https://bestpractical.com/request-tracker) and it would capture documents as database objects. The table where RT stowed downloadable documents was one of the largest tables in the database because of there being a few 50MB copies of Access Databases and some many-MB spreadsheets in there. It worked fine; no problems evident from it. It was certainly surprising to find such large documents there, and if people had gotten in the habit of putting GBs of data into RT, that would have probably led to some policy changes to prevent it, but unless you're pretty actively trying to blow the system up, it just works. -- When confronted by a difficult problem, solve it by reducing it to the question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"
