There is no possible way??? Tried to fetch it and parse the buffer to it but did not work sadly

You should be able to upload via a buffer

JavaScript


async function uploadImage(
  imageUrl,
  imageName,
  bucketId = process.env.IMAGES_BUCKET_ID
) {
  try {
    const imageResponse = await fetch(imageUrl);
    if (!imageResponse.ok) {
      throw new Error("Failed to fetch image from URL");
    }


    const arrayBuffer = await imageResponse.arrayBuffer();
    const buffer = Buffer.from(arrayBuffer);


    const inputFile = sdk.InputFile.fromBuffer(buffer, imageName);


    const result = await storage.createFile(bucketId, ID.unique(), inputFile);
    return result;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error uploading image:", error);
    throw error;
  }
}

Error uploading image: TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "path" argument must be of type string. Received type number (3798243238)

Appwrite

Maybe you can use InputFile.fromBlob(await imageResponse.blob())

Btw there's a new version of the node sdk

I tried updating lately and had loads of errors... So I just went back to the old one
