I have a rails 3 app that has a comment system that allows a user to make comments. What I now wish to do is extend this further by enabling the user to attach/upload files to the comment system. Fairly easy question I am about to ask. What is the best tool/plugin or gem to use so that I can achieve this? I’ve done some thorough research and found that alot of these plugins such as carrierwave, paperclip and a few others are used to upload photos and I am not trying to do this.

Requirements

  • User should be able to upload/attach files
  • Can upload word, powerpoint or execel docuements

    Both carrierwave and paperclip can be used to upload any type of files – they have extra features if you want to upload images, but they are not restricted to handling just image files.
    In the end it’s a matter of preference. I found both paperclip and carrierwave to be very good at what they do.
