You can probably do store binary files in elasticsearch, index them with ingest attachment processor.

But having an Edit and Search feature is not something that a backend like elasticsearch can propose. This is something you have to manage yourself.

That being said, I'd not store very big files in elasticsearch.  
I'd instead store the binary files to whatever storage tool you like and just index the content when it has been modified.

You can also think if something like having Dropbox or Google Drive to store your documents and Elastic Workplace Search (Commercial feature) on top of it to automatically index the content of your drive.
