Figures, I solved the problem after posting the question. With a bit more
searching and reading I found a rather simple solution to this.
Changing the upload_to= to use a callable works. The callable needs to have
two parameters instance and filename. changing the file name using a uuid
seems to do the trick for now. I have included my solution just incase
anyone else wants to do the same thing. :)
def generate_random_name(instance, filename):
filename = f'{uuid4().hex}.jpg'
return os.path.join('profile_pics', filename)
