is it possible to upload a file to box using file's url?

 

i want to bypass the whole save the file than upload process and just make a call to box api and upload the file using the url.

 

I have web platform with very little storage space and i want to automatically migrate to box using the api when the file is no longer in use.


Unfortunately, it is not currently possible to upload a file with a URL.


 


When calling the Upload File endpoint, you need to specify the file's location on your local machine or server.


 


 


 



would it be possible in the near future?

 

and also, this is not possible than, is it possible to send a string of base64 to be uploaded as file on the box?



Hi ,

 

Is this feature available now? I have files on the cloud storage with a public URL. I have to upload the files to Box to generate the preview link or render viewer using box-content-preview JS SDK.
