PROJECT_NAME = 'Created Project name'

Thats it, We are all done. Now all of your files will be handeled by the custom UpStorage's Backend Storage.

Advanced Guide

• You don't need to set 'upload_to' in model Fields (Defaultly it files will be saved on the root of your project.)

• File Link Will Be Stored On Your Model As Expected.You Can call them as you do usally.

• You Can also set 'upload_to='specific/folder' in your model like:

  Class TestModel(model.Model):
     image = models.ImageField(upload_to='to/my/folder')
  
  # this will save the file to that folder.if there's no folder it will create it.

• If you want to delete the image from the UpStorage Bucket when you delete it from django, you have to do it a bit differently.Lemme show you

  Class TestModel(model.Model):
     image = models.ImageField()
  
  # To delete the image you have to delete that by writing:
  
  obj = TestModel.objects.get(id=pk)
  obj.image.delete()
  
  # You can't directly delete it like this:
  
  obj.delete() # this won't delete the file from UpStorage
  
  # You have to delete the file field first to delete it.

  To make it simple you can override delete Method on your Model

  Class TestModel(model.Model):
      image = models.ImageField()
  
      def delete(self):
          self.image.delete()
          super(TestModel, self).delete()
