title: Can I upload an ImageField directly from the Django admin to S3 using django-storages and boto?
body: <p>I'm attempting to upload the image component of an ImageField directly to S3 through the django admin when I create a record.  Is it possible to achieve this directly by simply specifying the AWS S3 url for static files in </p>
  
  <pre><code>MEDIA_URL = 'https://s3.amazonaws.com/myapp/media/'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and specifying boto in:</p>
  
  <pre><code>STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.s3boto.S3BotoStorage'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or is it necessary to run the collectstatic command/upload using a homegrown form to submit to AWS.  django-storages docs give no real indication of whether this is possible and preliminary attempts to upload images to S3 using admin have not yielded results.</p>
