Laravel-medialibrary: Upload files from a non-local disk

Created on 2 Oct 2019 · 7Comments · Source: spatie/laravel-medialibrary

It doesn't seem possible to use addMedia with files from non-local disks, such as s3. Is this intentional, or am I doing something wrong?

Having the same issue - though the issue is not uploading to a separate disk, but uploading from. My use case right now is uploading an avatar via Laravel Vapor S3 stream (all handled on the client), and then on the server I want media-library to add the file that already exists in the S3 bucket in the /tmp directory. Something like addMedia('tmp/something', 's3') would be good.

Sure you can, take a look at the example here: https://docs.spatie.be/laravel-medialibrary/v7/advanced-usage/working-with-multiple-filesystems/

@freekmurze, sorry if I wasn't clear. What @jameslkingsley described is what I'm looking for - uploading files from a non-local disk.

Right... I think support for this should be added to the medialibrary. Currently I don't have time to look into it. If you need this quick, I'd accept a PR with tests and updated docs that adds support for this to the package.

I'm currently working on getting a quick solution built into this package

Any progress on that?
