Please follow the below way -

1. You need to enable this option first in your qa-config.php

https://github.com/q2a/question2answer/blob/dev/qa-config-example.php#L85

Like this -

define('QA_BLOBS_DIRECTORY', '/path/to/writable_blobs_directory/');

2. If there are already some BLOBs stored in the database from previous uploads, click the
    'Move BLOBs to disk' button in the 'Stats' section of the admin panel to move them to disk.

1. Do like Ami says here and put that QA_BLOBS_DIRECTORY line in your config.

2. The directory can be anywhere on your server. If you put for example a "files" folder in your site root, you can use:

define('QA_BLOBS_DIRECTORY', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/files');

Then make it writable (chmod 777), you can do that via FTP.
