It's just impractical and expensive to store more than a Textstring in a Blockchain, because everytime the Blockchain is updated with new data, you have to send a copy to all the other databases that share this Blockchain. This will get very resource heavy I'd you get 100000 10MB files each day and must keep them in sync with 200 other databases, who also received a similar amount of data from different users.
