The default behavior of FileSystemStorage is, "If a file with name already exists, an underscore plus a random 7 character alphanumeric string is appended to the filename before the extension." Do you want to always overwrite existing files if a file with that name already exists? That's a bit dangerous, but you can accomplish it by writing a custom storage.
