Django FileField upload

I am quite confused.

I have wrote an upload form in my site. everything works perfectly..

however, I am reading that I needed to implement a function like handle_uploaded_file to dump the file content from the request.FILES to a physical file.

however , I didn't do it any the file exists in the location I set the upload_to in the FileField field. everything works as expected..

Am I missing something ? why do I need handle_uploaded_file then ?

No, you do not need to do a handle_uploaded_file. When you save the object (form.save) Django already does this for you.

Look this: https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/db/models/fields/files.py#L270-276
