Active Storage uploading files from a remote location

[Anton Ipatov]

How to add ability to upload image via URL?

[Walter Lee Davis]

ActiveStorage accepts a file as a parameter, so all you need do is get an IO handle to the remote file, something like this:

require 'open-uri'
remote = open('url/to/file').read
@my_parent_object.file = remote
@my_parent_object.save
