I have a rails app, which use Paperclip or Carrierware to implement 'upload file'.
But i found it don't work, so are Cloud Foundry (specific www.cloudfoundry.com) support 'upload file' ?

If not, how cloud i modify my code to implement similar function by a easy way?
Give me some tips, thx.

Try to use MongoDB if you need persistent file storage. Or you can also explore Filesystem service in CF.

You could use MongoDB to store large objects, or use and object store like Amazon's S3, RiakCS, or if you're deploying CloudFoundry yourself, then CloudFoundry's filesystem service or vBlob store.

One of CloudFoundry's operating principles is that data must be persisted within a service. The filesystem within which an app runs is ephemeral, and can be reset at any time.

Hope that helps,
