I was curious if anyone could get paperclipped working on Heroku without using S3. I’m assuming Heroku is a read-only system, but there must be some way to save images there.
You can’t write to Heroku’s file system, so no, there is no way to save images the way you want. Your options are using a service like S3, or storing them in the database. I recommend using S3, because databases are not optimized for file storage. It’s worth reading Heroku’s documentation on file uploads.
