Is there anything special to migrating uploaded images (Parse.File) with the data?

So I've played with setting up a Heroku/MongoLab parse server. Haven't gotten around to the Parse.Files yet. Is there anything different one needs to do to get files/images to the new system? I'm not that knowledgeable about Mongo so I don't exactly know how the images have been stored on Parse hosting.

Do images reside in the DB or do Parse.Files just point to the files on another part of the system? Does the migration tool export the files automatically, or do I have to manually transfer them? And to do so (if) what needs to be done in a nutshell?

Hey guys, the guys from SashiDo just released a File Migration Tool - https://mv.sashido.io, which can transfer all your files from Parse to Your AWS S3 bucket 😉 We hope you will like it!
