def upload(request):
files = request.FILES.getlist('fileupload')
fs = FileSystemStorage(location="/data/upload/")
for fl in files:
fs.save(fl.name, fl)
settings.py
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'data')

Creating multiple file upload should handle in the form.
Take a look at Uploading multiple files
In your forms.py
from django import forms
class FileFieldForm(forms.Form):
file_field = forms.FileField(widget=forms.ClearableFileInput(attrs={'multiple': True}))
In your views.py
from django.views.generic.edit import FormView
from .forms import FileFieldForm
class FileFieldView(FormView):
form_class = FileFieldForm
template_name = 'upload.html' # Replace with your template.
success_url = '...' # Replace with your URL or reverse().
def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
form_class = self.get_form_class()
form = self.get_form(form_class)
files = request.FILES.getlist('file_field')
if form.is_valid():
for f in files:
... # Do something with each file.
return self.form_valid(form)
else:
return self.form_invalid(form)
