title: How to store uploaded AEM Forms files (pdf, xls) outside of the AEM CRX repository?
body: <p>I am using the guidefileupload out-of-the-box component in my Adobe Forms, but unfortunately the component won't work because of some business requirements:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>All uploaded files must be stored outside of the default AEM CRX repository.  I want to setup a new fileshare on my server and upload all files used only in the guidefileupload component to that location (the DAM won't work because it's part of CRX/AEM).</li>
  <li>I need all of the uploaded files to be Base 64 encoded.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any good suggestions as to what component to use or how to approach this problem?</p>
