Quick start

1. Add "filesnow" to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this::

   INSTALLED_APPS = [ ... 'filesnow', ]

2. Include the polls URLconf in your project urls.py like this::

   path('filesnow/', include('filesnow.urls'))

   Your URL Pattern must end with concinated string of "+ static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)"

   It should look something like

   urlpatterns = [ path('admin/', admin.site.urls), path('filesnow/', include('filesnow.urls')) ] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

3. Add the environment variables for media files within filesnow/settings.py::

   DOWNLOAD_LOC = < Describe Media Directory of your django Project or App > APP_MEDIA_URL = < Describe Media URL in case of App >

   Example : I have a django project with below descriptions django Project name => "docdocgo" django App name => "filesnow" django App Media directory => C:\Users\Jackuna\PycharmProjects\docdocgo\media\filesnow\

   Incase we don't have a media directory, create a media directory under django parent project folder and then add a folder named by app name. docdocgo --> media --> filesnow

   Considering above below is the way we define it.

   DOWNLOAD_LOC = 'C:\Users\Jackuna\PycharmProjects\docdocgo\media\filesnow\' APP_MEDIA_URL = MEDIA_URL+'filesnow/'
