ir_attachment not accepting FileStorage in file type in Odoo 11

Question

hey.
I'm writing a my own module in odoo 11.
I want to get a file from user and save the file as a file (and not in my DB as binary or base64 cause the order of the file size is around 1 GigaBytes). so in my controller I call create method of my model (witch has a field like below):
image_file = fields. Binary ( string = "Your picture file" , attachment = True )
but when calling it, I get a weird error which says:
TypeError: argument should be a bytes-like object or ASCII string, not 'FileStorag

The binary field only accepts the binary data of the file you want to upload.
So, convert your file into binary using base64 and then pass it to the binary field.

Please check modules by MuK IT from there you can try to create for odoo11 but if you are using python 3, maybe you can just try it

Note: I'm not the author of the module
