the filename.

Can i change the name of uploaded file before saving it?


Look at file_column documentation and source code, since i don't remember if
you can change the filename.

It seems that file systems are good at storing files ;-).
Your web server can serve static content as images/files in general faster
if they are stored on the disk.
