Saving files in a S3 subfolder












0















If I'm not mistaken, there are no real folders in S3. But there seems to be a possibility to save files with path's so it looks like a folder (when navigated through the AWS console, the folders are even visible).



Having a FileField in Django, how would I append a folder name to it?



E.g. the below works but is being put in the root bucket, which becomes cluttered very quickly. I'd love to put all those files in a 'subfolder'



class presentation(models.Model):
""" Holds the presentation themselves"""
author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
file = models.FileField(
null=False,
blank=False,
help_text='PPT or other presentation accessible only to members',
storage=protected_storage,
)

protected_storage = storages.backends.s3boto3.S3Boto3Storage(
acl='private',
querystring_auth=True,
querystring_expire=120, # 2 minutes, try to ensure people won't/can't share
)

  • If by subfolder, you mean bucket, then mention the bucket argument to S3Boto3Storage constructor.

Add the upload_to parameter and have it point to a function.



def my_upload_func(instance, filename):
return f"test/awesome/{filename}"

file = models.FileField(
null=False,
blank=False,
help_text='PPT or other presentation accessible only to members',
storage=protected_storage,
upload_to=my_upload_func
)

  • worked beautifully, thanks a lot! What is the instance for, though, if it's not used in the upload func?

    – Bishonen_PL

  • instance is if you wanted to derive some type of attribute from the presentation. let's say you wanted to put it in the bucket of author's name with f"{instance.author.name}/{filename}"
