                      do something here

You are saving a form but calling back variable that holds unsaved version of the form.

I would try to replace

    if form.is_valid():
        new_form = form
        new_form.save(commit=True)

with :

    if form.is_valid():
        print("Form is valid")
        form.save(commit=True)
    else:
        print("Invalid form")


Pretty sure you will get an invalid form, due to a missing field
send_quote field. For the form to send the file, you need to add an
enctype=multipart or something related.
