Hi,
You are putting the entire file into memory by running
byteSource.runFold(ByteString.empty) { case (acc, i) => acc ++ i
}.map(s => s.utf8String)
This means the body is first completely read into memory as a ByteString
and then transformed into a String.
To stream the byte chunks directly to a file you would do something like
this:
val futureWriteResult: Future[IOResult] =
byteSource.runWith(FileIO.toPath(uploadFile))
