Overview

File storage stores file to the Filesystem (surprising, no?). There’s really not much to it, it uses the store_dir defined on the uploader as the storage location. That’s pretty much it.

def retrieve!(identifier)
  path = ::File.expand_path(uploader.store_path(identifier), uploader.root)
  CarrierWave::SanitizedFile.new(path)
end

#store!(file) ⇒ Object

Move the file to the uploader’s store path.

By default, store!() uses copy_to(), which operates by copying the file from the cache to the store, then deleting the file from the cache. If move_to_store() is overriden to return true, then store!() uses move_to(), which simply moves the file from cache to store. Useful for large files.

Parameters

file (CarrierWave::SanitizedFile)

the file to store

Returns

CarrierWave::SanitizedFile

a sanitized file
