Directly download and save files remotely via URL.

I think it's a practical feature for administrators to directly download and save files from the internet, such as images, PDFs, or other files, using a URL.
Hope this feature can be added.

thhyiu I don't understand the request. You can already download all files in any dirs or from all dirs.

I mean the remote downloaded files are saved in the folder on the server side. For example, download the picture "https://hefollo.com/%E6%89%8B%E6%9C%BA%E7%AB%AF-%E5%8A%A8%E6%BC%AB%E5%9B%BE%E7%89%87/%E5%8A%A8%E6%BC%AB%E5%9B%BE%E7%89%877%E5%88%86%E5%8C%BA/5a4a746fe7bce7362c1add69.png" directly to the folder, instead of downloading it to the computer and then uploading it to the server.

thhyiu Ok, I got it ... I don't think this will be implemented, because it's not within reasonable scope of Files Gallery functionality. Also, there are several challenges and security issues involved ... It would require PHP curl() enabled and allowed to download external urls. This is often disabled, and remote websites will often block it anyway. Also, it's insecure to allow remote-downloading anything directly into server.

Also, I don't personally see much benefit. If you are the server owner (admin), you could easily use SSH or WGET to download files directly to server. Or even download locally first (without copy-pasting), then mass-uploading.

Thanks for your suggestion!

It's useless and not user friendly

Got it, thanks for your reply.
