[ygoldshtrakh]

trying to use remote_url capability in the user model as

u = User.first
u.remote_profile_pic_url= "https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSvf2N7XGVx_3Qg8yq3PhgCVzG2ZGiJUxnbDR0A-BZDX1dFhqDs"

Thank you for reporting this issue. Sorry for the delay in responding.
We've tried to reproduce the issue you reported but it seems to work well in our environment.
It might be related to the content of your CarrierWave uploader class.
Can you please share the code of your uploader class? It should help us better understand the problem.

dwusbu, can you please share the code of your uploader class? It should help us better understand the problem.

my entire image uploader class:

class ImageUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
include Cloudinary::CarrierWave

Include RMagick or MiniMagick support:

include CarrierWave::RMagick

include CarrierWave::MiniMagick

Include the Sprockets helpers for Rails 3.1+ asset pipeline compatibility:

include Sprockets::Helpers::RailsHelper

include Sprockets::Helpers::IsolatedHelper

Choose what kind of storage to use for this uploader:

storage :file

storage :fog

Override the directory where uploaded files will be stored.

This is a sensible default for uploaders that are meant to be mounted:

def store_dir
"uploads/#{model.class.to_s.underscore}/#{mounted_as}/#{model.id}"
end

Provide a default URL as a default if there hasn't been a file uploaded:

def default_url

# For Rails 3.1+ asset pipeline compatibility:

# asset_path("fallback/" + [version_name, "default.png"].compact.join('_'))

"/images/fallback/" + [version_name, "default.png"].compact.join('_')

end

Process files as they are uploaded:

process :scale => [200, 300]

def scale(width, height)

# do something

end

Create different versions of your uploaded files:

version :thumb do

process :scale => [50, 50]

end

Add a white list of extensions which are allowed to be uploaded.

For images you might use something like this:

def extension_white_list

%w(jpg jpeg gif png)

end

Override the filename of the uploaded files:

Avoid using model.id or version_name here, see uploader/store.rb for details.

def filename

"something.jpg" if original_filename

end

end

Please try to comment out storage :file and the store_dir method, which are not needed when using Cloudinary's plugin for CarrierWave. It should solve the problem you reported.
See sample uploaded classes: http://cloudinary.com/documentation/rails_integration#carrierwave

You are right rmoving store_dir and storage file fixed it for me
