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)
