## What it is
django-storages is a Python library providing a collection of storage backends for Django's file storage API, such as Amazon S3, Azure Blob, and FTP. It lets Django projects store media and static files on external storage services through a single, unified library.

## Use cases
- store Django media files on Amazon S3
- serve Django static files from cloud object storage
- add a custom file storage backend to a Django project
- upload user-uploaded files to Azure Blob Storage from Django
- replace Django's local filesystem storage with remote storage

## When to choose
- you use Django and need to persist files on S3, Azure, GCS, or other remote backends
- you want one maintained library covering many storage providers instead of separate packages
- you need drop-in Django storage backends with configurable settings

## When to avoid
- you are not using Django (the backends depend on Django's storage API)
- you only store files locally and have no need for remote storage
- you need a framework-agnostic file upload solution

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: file-upload, object-storage, sdk
- domain: web-development, backend, files, cloud-computing
- platform: python, cloud
- tags: django, storage-backends, s3, file-storage, web-server
