How to specify an "upload to" path in a Form File Field in Django?

I'm not using a Model for this form, I know I can set the upload_to parameter inside a Model File Field, but seems not possible from the Form.

When I set the FileField the file is uploaded to the MEDIA_ROOT I setup on my settings. Although, I would like the file uploaded to /folder. Is it possible directly from the Form File Field or I must move the file manually?

You have to actually create your ImageField in Django models then inherit from the model into your form

You will have to process the file manually from request.FILES['formfieldname'] , this should provide a clear description for both cases (using the FileField in your model or manual handling from the request):
