The standard answer is to use both; database holds the location of the files and the file server holds the actual data.

The main advantages of doing this are listed in Store pictures as files or in the database for a web app?

If you are using SQL Server and version 2008 or higher then its worth to store image in file stream. It contains both advantage of storing image in files and database.
