I would probably avoid it.
What to call it instead? What does it relate to. Sure its a file, but is it a Document or maybe an Image or maybe a FileAttachment

Will a model called File give me issues?
Hi,
Maybe a dumb question but i am building a little app for File uploads. The obvious name for my File model would be File, but is this a good idea since there are File helper functions etc. If it's a bad idea what should i call it?

I have to agree with @Snapey here, best to name it more specifically. I've had an issue with a model called "log" before which made me realise that it is actually better to name things more specifically for readability.
There's actually a facade called File so it wont work.

@Snapey its a dropbox like app , so it can be of multiple types. So FileAttachment seems like a ok choice. Was thinking about UploadedFile

or just 'Upload' ?
