User Folders

Permalink
I'd like to create folders for users which consist of documents that have been inputed via forms and saved as text files by the users at their profile pages. For example, instead of uploading a short story, the user can input the story's text of up to 3,000 words into a form at their profile page, where it'll be saved with all of their other short stories. How do I do this? I don't know where to start - forms or profiles?

Thanks in advance.

Can you just add a file upload field to the form?
Or if you want users to be able to paste in the text as opposed to uploading a file, just add a text area to the form (it will save to the database just like every other field -- no need to create a text file).

If that's not what you're looking for, you might want to check out this thread which seems to be about a similar problem:
