DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE is deprecated. Instead use: STORAGES = { "default": { "BACKEND": "cloudinary_storage.storage.MediaCloudinaryStorage", }, "staticfiles": { "BACKEND": "django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.StaticFilesStorage", }, }

After uploading the image in cloudinary how to delete that image from django views ?

[@ajudmeister]

You can use the cloudinary api: from cloudinary import api def delete_image(image_id): api.delete_resources([image_id]) The image_id is the unique identifier stored in your database.

Hello, awesome concept shared here. However, I have tried the same with my website but the images are not rendered. What could be the issue? Cause I checked on Cloudinary media explorer and nothing was created except seeing the default images from it. Will be grateful for more guidance, thanks Jud!

[@ajudmeister]

Does your model has ImageField and upload_to set? Does it work locally?

@@ajudmeister I have the same problem but I did what you said and I don't have solution

And.. when I use POSTGRES_LOCALLY= True and I add a photo a folder is created in my vsc

@@benjaminmehrez3384 that means that it is not connecting to cloudinary. Can you please share your media server settings?

Can we use project storage to store media files? I mean we need to pay another service because we need to store media files.

[@ajudmeister]

By project storage do you mean the web server? The reason we can’t use it as with every new deploy the whole application is rebuild and we lose any media files which have been uploaded. It’s not a permanent static server.

[@mikewski4410]

@@ajudmeister so we can use if there we paid for it, right?

[@ajudmeister]

@@mikewski4410 no, render doesn’t seem to have a media storage service, Amazon, Google, Microsoft or Digital Ocean offer web service and media storage.

[@mikewski4410]

@@ajudmeister I will checkout some other hosting website like GoDaddy or something else.

[@biscotty6669]

I plan to deploy locally with nginx, and I don't have a storage issue. Is there an advantage to using cloudinary in my case? Cheers.

[@ajudmeister]

Cloudinary is a cdn, so it can serve media files very efficiently everywhere around the globe and optimizes them for different screen size and resolutions. But you can also serve your files locally, especially when they are not too big in size.
