In Sense/Net everything is stored in the Content Repository, meaning the database by default. You can switch on the FileStream feature of MS SQL Server, Sense/Net supports that, but that feature will be phased out in the future, because SQL Server uses too much storage in some environments.
There is a possibility to store binaries in a separate blob storage. The Enterprise edition contains a blob provider for MongoDb; Community users may create a custom solution based on a sample code.
In the default installation these are the SQL tables that you can take a look at:
- Nodes (as you have found out, this is the central table).
- Versions: one or more versions per content (can be joined with Nodes).
- BinaryProperties: metadata table for binary values (can be joined to Versions).
- Files: real binary data in case of default behavior, connected to the BinaryProperties table above.
For details, see this article: Sense/Net database structure

Thank you for quick replay,it clears my doubt but what is storage limit for community users;ya its depends on system/server storage size? – sameer Apr 05 '17 at 12:29

SenseNet does not set a storage limit; that limit is set by your database store. If you use SQL Express 2012 or 2014 your limit is 10 GB. – Thane Plummer Apr 11 '17 at 21:31
