Read the documentation for your file upload package -- I believe you mentioned ActiveStorage -- about uploading from a URL. This is a common feature in many file attachment systems. CarrierWave, Shrine, CarrierWave, even Paperclip have a way to do this. It usually amounts to something like require 'open-uri' file = open(remote_url).read @your_instance.file = file @your_instance.save # (the file should be persisted locally) Walter > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/rubyonrails-talk/9f8ba9af-0ad0-4fd0-856b-0f236c76149b%40googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
