Django Media Files - Handling User Uploads in Django Forms & Models

In this video we'll see how to handle user uploads and media files in a Django project. We'll see how to use Django model ImageField and FileField to store relative paths to files on the file-system, and will see how to create a Django Form class that allows users to upload files.

We'll see what the MEDIA_ROOT and MEDIA_URL settings are for, and how Django can serve media files during development.

Finally, we'll also see how to delete files from the filesystem when the underlying row in the database is deleted, and will discuss the default behaviour of Django in this case.
