Django-dbfilestorage

Custom file storage for Django that stores file data and content type in the database. Easy to use for testing remote storages when you're in a transition stage between Local and something like Amazon S3.

Intended to be used in tests, never in production.

INSTALLATION

pip install django-dbfilestorage

Then in your project's settings.py file, add 'dbfilestorage' to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'dbfilestorage'
)

Next, if you want to set this globally, set the setting:

DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE='dbfilestorage.storage.DBFileStorage'

Or you can set it individually on a field: Django Docs

from dbfilestorage.storage import DBFileStorage

class SomeClass(models.Model):
    file = models.FileField(upload_to=u'anywhere',
        storage=DBFileStorage())

TODO

• Test that this works on a fake model, not just the storage file.
• Different django and different python versions.
