The files are (generally) stored in SQL server in databases called content databases together with all other content, such as list items and metadata. |

They are stored in the Content Database on SQL Server. There are provisions to offload the files to the file system and third party tools to assist with it. |

Files that you upload within SharePoint to Document libraries are normally stored within SQL server. However, if you're uploading files as part of a Feature that you are developing and installing, those files can be served from the filesystem OR from the database. |
