:class:`~django.core.files.File` class reference and the :doc:`/topics/files`

topic guide.



The uploaded file's relative URL can be obtained using the

:attr:`~django.db.models.fields.FileField.url` attribute. Internally,

this calls the :meth:`~django.core.files.storage.Storage.url` method of the
