Create File From Url

Create a file object with a distant content based on a URL.

Description​

Description​

Create a new file instance in the local database which references a remote file. The file content is therefore not stored locally, but it is remotely available through the specified external URL.

A common use of this brick is to combine it with Get File Content and Download File, or as a source of an Image visual component. This allows using files which are only available as URLs.

The newly created file is not persisted. Use the brick Persist Object to do so.
