Store only the path in DB and image file in server folder this is the best practice,  save the file in some folder and forward the path to DB Object so that your DB can remember the path of the file and you can load it in the frontend,

here is a snippet that you can use 

import  FileSystemStorage()

from django.core.files.storage import FileSystemStorage

function that will store the file 

profile_pic_upload = request.FILES.get('profile_pic_upload', 'false')

if user:
	if profile_pic_upload != 'false':
	fs = FileSystemStorage()
	profile_pic = compress_image(profile_pic_upload)
	filename = fs.save(profile_pic_upload.name, profile_pic)
	uploaded_file_url = fs.url(filename)
	uploaded_file_url = uploaded_file_url.split("/")
	original_url= uploaded_file_url[-1]
	user_profile.profile_pic = original_url Here fs is the object of the FileSystemStorege() class compress_image() is my custom function no need to add that, you can directly pass the image object that you are getting from request. then the origina_url will go to DB user_profile.profile_pic = original_url <where user_profile is table and profile_pic is field and original_url is the URL that we get from FileSystemStorage()> also, it will add a randomly generated value at the end of the file that will be very useful if you have 2 images with the same name NOTE make sure that you have a media folder added to you your settings.py file or you can pass the path to where to save the image like this fs = FileSystemStorage(location='media/rent_pictures/') Hope this helps another thing is that image is also a file and treated the same way in the backend regards,

Hi Folks,

Actually I have one image filed called profile_pic and another is file field called  documents but I don't know what is best practise to store it. Most importantly how I can make each user details is unique.

Thank you in advance

Regards,

Soumen
