How to Save file in database instead of upload in server media folder ,using models.FileField?

Question

I want to save a file in database instead of uploading it to a server media file and save URL in Database, I want directly save file in the Database.

Right now I am doing this:

model.py:

File = models.FileField(upload_to='CSR/', null=True , blank = True)

template.html:

<td> {{certificate.File.url}} </td>

Django supports BinaryField which lets you store binary data in the database.

The Django docs state:

Abusing BinaryField

Although you might think about storing files in the database, consider that it is bad design in 99% of the cases. This field is not a replacement for proper static files handling.

If you do not want to store files into the filesystem of your webserver, you can use the django-storages library which provides options for Amazon S3, DigitalOcean and more.
