django-storages VS django-import-export

I recommend using https://github.com/jschneier/django-storages for handling this

On the other side, the Django itself, together with a django-storages package, provides a wide range of file-like storage backends also using local, network, and cloud storage implementations.

the images are uploading correcty to dropbox but still have this stupid error.. same problem as here https://github.com/jschneier/django-storages/issues/1109

I have a Django application running on Heroku. To store and serve my static files, I'm using django-storages with my S3 bucket, as well as the standard Django ManifestFilesMixin. I'm also using django-pipeline.

And I hace tried https://github.com/pyutil/django-b2 https://github.com/royendgel/django-backblazeb2-storage https://github.com/jschneier/django-storages but aside from following their readme the manage.py run keeps asking me for more info and I'm really lost on what do I have to add

Django documentation suggests not hard-coding static URLs, and instead using the {% static template tag. {% static ... returns the path the browser can use to request the file. At it's simplest, that would return a path that looks up the file on your local file system. That's fine for your local dev environment but in prod we will likely use third-party libraries such as whitenoise or django-storages to improve performance of the production web server.

By far the most annoying part of this whole thing was finding some GitHub issue comment that mentioned that Lambdas automatically set the AWS_SESSION_TOKEN and AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN environment variables, and it turns out it was causing a hard-to-track-down error in the backup script's invocation of the aws client along the lines of:

If you’re unfamiliar: {% static ... returns the path the browser can use to request the file. At it's simplest, that would return a path that looks up the file on your local file system.

I would then suggest to use django-storages to handle uploaded files to S3 if you are not doing it already.

django-import-export provides a sophisticated framework for importing data. Good if you need to do this on a regular basis and need to do some work on the data before writing to the database.

The Django Import Export package was good except for one issue: it requires describing a "resource" directly in the code, and it doesn't allow to import of arbitrary files.
