Using in place of FileField

[ckcollab]

Hey there, thanks for making this!

I am a little confused on usage, is there anything special you have to do to use this field as a regular file field? I replaced a FileField with this S3 direct field but it gives a URL back when I do field.file and that fails when I try to do normal file type interactions? Do I have to download the file manually to interact with it?

Hey there, unfortunately s3direct is built around URLField, so yes, for the time being you would need to download the file manually.
