any benifit to store pdf or files in database?

Is there is any benifit to store pdf or files in database.As per my knowledge I think we should not.But recently I saw a senior developer is doing so.Pls guide
I guss it is more secure to save them in the database. and also when you back up you have the data with the backup
but as you said there are few cons as well!
