[Django]-How to access file after upload in Django?

The InMemoryUploadedFile does not provide temporary_file_path. The content lives ‘in memory’ – as the class name implies.

By default Django uses InMemoryUploadedFile for files up to 2.5MB size, larger files use TemporaryFileUploadHandler. where the later provides the temporary_file_path method in question. Django Documentation

So an easy way would be to change your settings for FILE_UPLOAD_HANDLERS to always use TemporaryFileUploadHandler:

FILE_UPLOAD_HANDLERS = [
    'django.core.files.uploadhandler.TemporaryFileUploadHandler',
]

Just keep in mind that this is not the most efficient way when you have a site with a lot of concurrent small upload requests.
