If you don't have to worry about scale and you are sure your user base is going to remain small and stable, then you are fine. If you expect it to grow, then you should look into dumping your files on a file server. This way you can scale, backups of your database and file server can be done quickly, independently or in parallel and it allows for better use of network resources ( your app/server/etc can distribute requests to both db and file server instead of having one large request from the db).
At the end of the day, if it works and you are aware of the business needs, that's all that matters.
