If you can't store upload files on your file system (for example, if you deploy to Heroku), you can use something like django-storages [0] to upload them to a S3 bucket. S3 is cheap (you can start with a free trial, and after that you'll pay like 1 or 2 cents/month for small projects) and reliable.
