I am making a MERN app and I am thinking of hosting it on Heroku and for database, I am using mlab But here I am confused about how and where can I handle static files. Like in my app user will upload a picture where should I put them. As mlab or MongoDB is going hold only path URLs if I am not wrong.

Hope this question makes sense, I am confused about it. please help me figure this out

@Chris not really I know about Amazon aws but I want to use any free platform for storing my data. – aditya kumar Apr 21 '19 at 15:57
@adityakumar, then your question is off-topic. We're not here to find or recommend off-site resources. See [help/on-topic]. We _can_ tell you that you can't permanently store your files on Heroku's filesystem. – ChrisGPT was on strike Apr 21 '19 at 15:58
