How to upload a file using django FileBrowser

Question

In the description of the django app called FileBrowser, it says that the app allows to "browse directories on your server and upload/delete/edit/rename files".

I think that I managed to install the app correctly following the documentation. But when I access /admin/filebrowser/browse/ I can't see how to upload a file. There are no buttons or anything.

If I manually put a file in the uploads directory, it does show up on the admin interface though.

Is there a command or some code I need to type to enable the upload in FileBrowser?

Answer 1

If you have everything set up correctly it should resemble something similar to this:

Answer 2

I think the best-practice is to use the Django native forms.FileField class in your form. This class manages the whole file upload process saving the uploaded file into the folder you want. Take a look to Django specific documentation:

Django File Uploads

E.g.:

# In forms.py...

from django import forms 

class UploadFileForm(forms.Form):
     title = forms.CharField(max_length=50)
     file = forms.FileField()
