You will need to set MEDIA_URL and MEDIA_ROOT in your project’s settings.py.

MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')
In the development server you may serve the user uploaded files (media) using django.contrib.staticfiles.views.serve() view.

from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static

urlpatterns = [
    # Project url patterns...
]

if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
