The .update() method works at the database level and will ignore upload_to. It may also overwrite other users’ avatars if the same filename is used when it should actually store the file using a unique filename.

The correct way is to use a proper form to update data based on user input, but if you are in a hurry this should also work:

try:
    profile = Profile.objects.get(user_id=request.POST['user_id'])
    profile.avatar = request.FILES['avatar']
    profile.save()
except Profile.DoesNotFound:
    return HttpResponseNotFound("User not found")
