How can I upload files to AWS S3 using Django?

How can I upload files to AWS S3 using Django?

You can use the boto3 library to interact with AWS S3. First, install it using pip install boto3.

What settings do I need to configure in Django?

You'll need to set your AWS credentials in your Django settings, including AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, and AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME.

Can you show me a sample code for file upload?

Sure! Here's a simple view function:

import boto3
from django.conf import settings
from django.http import JsonResponse

def upload_file(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        file = request.FILES['file']
        s3 = boto3.client('s3')
        s3.upload_fileobj(file, settings.AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME, file.name)
        return JsonResponse({'message': 'File uploaded successfully!'})

What about handling file permissions?

You can set the ACL parameter in the upload_fileobj method to control permissions, like ACL='public-read' for public access.
