If you want to storage files, no matter the type you can use "FileStream".

private void SaveFile(string _pathToGet, string _pathToSave)
{
    FileStream fs = new FileStream();
    byte[] = GetFile(_pathToGet);
    fs.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
}

private byte[] GetFile(_path)
{
    FileStream fs = null;
    fs = File.Open(_path, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
    byte[] data = new byte[fs.Length];
    fs.Read(data, 0, (int)fs.Length);
    fs.Close();
    return data;
}

That's may help.
