Django models in file sharing system

[Vasu Dev Garg]

models.py :

 `class Document(models.Model):

     docfile = models.FileField(upload_to='documents/%Y/%m/%d')

     user = models.ForeignKey(User, null=False, blank= False)

`

I have created a model for file upload as shown above. docfile is the field that represents file to be uploaded and user field stores the name of the user that is uploading the file.I want the additional fields so that file uploaded is visible to the ones with whom it has been shared. Tell me the fields for achieving the sharing task.

Maybe you should use a ManyToManyField so many users may be linked to
any Document.

eg sharing = models.ManyToManyField('User')

creating a sharing manytomany field is right but how to call it in views and verify that user filled in the form exists?
