Django Python uploading a file to a specific folder

I am working on a Django app and I want the users to be able to upload a csv file to a folder in the server. Appreciate if you could point me to the right direction.

Here is my complete solution

#view.py
def uploadfunc(request):
	if request.method=='POST':
		form =uploadfileform(request.POST,request.FILES)
		if form.is_valid():
			form.save()
			return render_to_response('upload_successful.html')
	else:
		form=uploadfileform()
	return render(request, 'upload.html',{'form':form})


#models.py
class uploadfolder(models.Model):
    """ my application """
    File_to_upload = models.FileField(upload_to='')


#forms.py
#uploading file form
class uploadfileform(forms.ModelForm):
	class Meta:
		model=uploadfolder
		fields=('File_to_upload',)


#upload.html
  <form method="post" action="{% url 'uploadfunc'%}" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form.as_table }}
  <!--  <button type="submit">Upload</button>-->
    <input class="btn btn-primary btn-md" role="button" type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload File" >
  </form>


#settings.py 

MEDIA_ROOT = "/var/www/vmachines/registry/files/"
MEDIA_URL = "files/"

Clients can send files via multi-part requests. Following code demonstrates multi part requests using requests

import requests
url = "http://someurl"
files = {"file" : ("somename.txt", open("pathtofile", "rb"))}
requests.post(url, files=files)

This will give you an InMemoryFile in your server, which you can then save to your server using default_storage and ContentFile inbuilt in django

def filehandler(request):
    incomingfile = request.FILES['file']
    default_storage.save("pathtofolder", ContentFile(incomingfile.read()))

You can just use the django FileField and that lets you upload the file to the specified folder directly through admin panel and same can be done using the form for normal user.

upload = models.FileField(upload_to='uploads/your-folder/')
