Answer 2

If I got your question right, you are looking for url.
class YourModel:
its_file = FileField(upload_to=your_media_dir ...

And then you access the file eg via your_model_instance.its_file.url

See ( FileField ):
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/ref/models/fields/

Answer 3

Hi, no it's not a url am looking for, the model field is Fileupload, then I uploaded a file from front-end now I want to extract the particular file using django queryset in the backend

Am not sure if my statement is understandable

Thank you for trying to help

Answer 4

I'm not sure if I got you right, but if you are trying to access the file itself, not the model, you can do something like:
import os
os.open(path_to_media_dir + your_model.file.url)
