4. Media Plugin for CakePHP by david persson

This plugin was conceived as a thorough solution to all the needs coming from dealing with media files in a web application. Moreover the idea was to show how much a well maintained plugin can be worth it and inspire others to do the same. The plugin slowly evolved (and in fact still does) from a very distinct set of tightly coupled components into something much more flexible. This allows you to use only the functionality you really need.

6. MeioUpload 2.0 Plugin by jrbasso

This behavior provides to upload files in your application, as well as the possibility to translate the error message (originally only in portuguese) and the use of phpThumb as a better thumbnail generator.

You can also use it in No-DB mode, which means that no data for the upload is stored within the database. You can further this by setting var $useTable = false in the model, which will both trigger No-DB mode AND allow quick uploads.
