Dead simple drop-in multi file upload field for django forms using HTML5's multiple
attribute.
- Install the package using pip (or easy_install if you really have to)
$ pip install django-multiupload
- Or directly from this repository to get the development version (if you're feeling adventurous)
$ pip install -e git+https://github.com/Chive/django-multiupload.git#egg=multiupload
Add the form field to your form and make sure to save the uploaded files in the form's save
method.

# forms.py
from django import forms
from multiupload.fields import MultiFileField
class UploadForm(forms.Form):
attachments = MultiFileField(min_num=1, max_num=3, max_file_size=1024*1024*5)
# If you need to upload media files, you can use this:
attachments = MultiMediaField(
min_num=1,
max_num=3,
max_file_size=1024*1024*5,
media_type='video' # 'audio', 'video' or 'image'
)
# For images (requires Pillow for validation):
attachments = MultiImageField(min_num=1, max_num=3, max_file_size=1024*1024*5)
The latter two options just add fancy attributes to HTML's <input>
, restricting the scope to corresponding filetypes.
# models.py
from django.db import models
class Attachment(models.Model):
file = models.FileField(upload_to='attachments')
# views.py
from django.views.generic.edit import FormView
from .forms import UploadForm
from .models import Attachment
class UploadView(FormView):
template_name = 'form.html'
form_class = UploadForm
success_url = '/done/'
def form_valid(self, form):
for each in form.cleaned_data['attachments']:
Attachment.objects.create(file=each)
return super(UploadView, self).form_valid(form)
