I have a custom file storage working with a specific subdir structure.
Did you pass in a method specifying the path in the upload_to kwarg
for FileField?
Here's my model code, where EnhancedFileSystemStorage is my custom
file storage class, and get_random_dir_name is just a helper method
that does exactly as named.
file_storage = EnhancedFileSystemStorage(location=settings.DYNMEDIA_ROOT,
base_url=settings.DYNMEDIA_URL)
def file_upload_to(instance, filename):
return os.path.join(get_random_dir_name(instance.file_storage.location,
filename), filename)
file = models.FileField(upload_to=file_upload_to, storage=file_storage)
