multiple files upload using same input name in django

for f in request.FILES.getlist('file'):
    # do something with the file f...

EDIT: I know this was an old answer, but I came across it just now and have edited the answer to actually be correct. It was previously suggesting that you could iterate directly over request.FILES['file']. To access all items in a MultiValueDict, you use .getlist('file'). Using just ['file'] will only return the last data value it finds for that key.


Given your url points to envia you could manage multiple files like this:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect

def envia(request):
    for f in request.FILES.getlist('file'):
        handle_uploaded_file(f)
    return HttpResponseRedirect('/bulk/')

def handle_uploaded_file(f):
    destination = open('/tmp/upload/%s'%f.name, 'wb+')
    for chunk in f.chunks():
        destination.write(chunk)
    destination.close()
