You can specify FileSystemStorage.location

def homepage(request):
    form = Audio_store()
    if request.method == "POST":
       form = Audio_store(request.POST, request.FILES)
       if form.is_valid():
          handle_uploaded_file(request.FILES['record'])
          return HttpResponseRedirect('mp3/')
    return render(request, "homepage.html", {'form': form})

To use this you've to set MEDIA_ROOT inside your settings.py file because FileSystemStorage.location uses MEDIA_ROOT as default value.

MEDIA_URL = '/media/', MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media'). like that? – Monana May 13 '22 at 07:07
