1) I still think you should look at: /email/doc/FAQ.txt
It deals some with this, because when you attach a file to an email, that file 
gets
uploaded to the location you are asking about.

I think this "files" location was first used by the old filemanager, and then 
as a
place to upload attachments for outgoing emails.

Now, I understand we are going to have a "virtual filesystem" that resides in 
the
database (is this correct?) whence it will be easier for people to save 
attachments
to this "virtual" location, and probably deal with security issues too (???)

2 and 3) As for location, I put mine in /var just because it seems its size 
will be
quite variable (probably just growing, though :) but see that FAQ.txt file for 
some
*brief* information on permissions.
