Uploading Images in Rails

The images on my app are visible when it is used on my computer, but when I try to use it on another computer or my phone, the images are not shown. The images are uploaded through the app/input from the computers directory. I was wondering if there was a way to make the images either public (not sure what term to use) or how do I upload them via URL? I am using the Paperclip 4.2.1 gem.

Thanks!

A good alternative is use Dropbox to host this kind of static files

UPDATE: Obsolete due changes in Dropbox API. The author recomends Shrine as a replacement.

I highly recommend using Amazon's S3 to host your files. You can get a free year.

Best and a free solution to have your application hosted on heroku and using file upload is use google drive. Use paperclip-googledrive gem it will help you to achieve this https://github.com/evinsou/paperclip-googledrive
