[Answer]-Working with Django's FormView

If your view is intended to create a ProjectFile, I would recommend you use a CreateView, and override the form_valid method.

from django.views.generic import CreateView

class UploadFileView(CreateView):
    form_class = FileUploadForm
    template_name = 'project/file_upload.html'
    def form_valid(self, form):
        form.instance.user = self.request.user
        return super(UploadFileView, self).form_valid(form)

You could still override the same method even if you wish to use the FormView.
