Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It is a normal feature request. It would be nice to minimize upload/download to client with function "upload from url".
Describe the solution you'd like
There was an app Transfer. With that app it was possible to upload files e.g. podcasts from podcast server, ... directly to Nextcloud. Then we must not download the file first and upload again.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Without this function i must download and upload files e.g. podcasts.
Additional context
Here are screenshots from the app Transfer.
The function is a bit like Nextcloud Federation only not with a federated nextcloud account, but with any URL.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the linked Transfer app and Nextcloud's existing federation flow to identify the relevant server-side upload path and security requirements. Done should mean that a user can provide an arbitrary URL and have its file stored directly in Nextcloud without downloading it through the client.
