n8n allows for file uploads and it can produce files that a user may need to keep. At the moment those files are stored in the n8n container which has an ephemeral file system.

- explain they can't expect file uploads to persist
- point them towards S3 or GCP Cloud Storage
- point them towards a simple, free alternative like https://www.tigrisdata.com/
