+## File Storage
+
+Uses ActiveStorage with custom blob service and nginx x-accel-redirect for efficient streaming.
+
+### Usage
+
+```ruby
+class Document < ApplicationRecord
+  has_one_attached :file
+  has_many_attached :attachments
+end
+
+# Server-side attachment
+document.file.attach(io: File.open("file.pdf"), filename: "file.pdf")
+document.file.url  # Returns signed URL
+```
+
+### Direct Uploads
+
+For Inertia/React apps, use the `@rails/activestorage` package:
+
+```typescript
+import { DirectUpload } from '@rails/activestorage';
+
+const upload = new DirectUpload(file, '/rails/active_storage/direct_uploads');
+upload.create((error, blob) => {
+  if (error) {
+    // Handle error
+  } else {
+    // Use blob.signed_id in your form submission
+  }
+});
+```
+
+### Implementation
+
+- **Service**: [BlobStorageService](app/services/blob_storage_service.rb) - Net::HTTP, JWT tokens
+- **Initializer**: [config/initializers/active_storage.rb](config/initializers/active_storage.rb) - Extends ActiveStorage controllers
+- **Routes**: Standard ActiveStorage routes (`/rails/active_storage/*`)
+
+### nginx Config
+
+```nginx
+location /_blob_upload { internal; }
+location ~ ^/_blob_internal/... { internal; }
+```
+

 # Builder Rails Template
 
-A Rails 8 application template
+A Rails 8 application template with Inertia.js, React, and custom ActiveStorage with efficient nginx-based file streaming.
 
 ## Quick Start
 
@@ -12,12 +12,58 @@ bin/dev
 ## Running Tests
 
 ```bash
+# All tests

+

+
+## File Storage
+
+This application includes a production-ready ActiveStorage implementation using nginx's x-accel-redirect pattern for efficient file uploads and downloads.
+
+### Key Features
+
+- **Memory efficient** - Files stream through nginx, not Rails
+- **Scalable** - No blocking on file operations
+- **Secure** - JWT-based authentication with signed blob IDs
+- **ActiveStorage compatible** - Works with all standard features
+
+### Configuration
+
+Set the following environment variables:
+
+```bash
+BLOB_UPLOADS_RW=your-jwt-token
+BLOB_SERVICE_URL=http://blob-service.example.com:9003  # Optional
+```
+
+### Usage
+
+```ruby
+class Document < ApplicationRecord
+  has_one_attached :file
+  has_many_attached :attachments
+end
+
+# Server-side attachment
+document.file.attach(io: File.open("file.pdf"), filename: "file.pdf")
+document.file.url  # Get download URL
+
+# Client-side direct upload (HTML form)
+<%= form.file_field :file, direct_upload: true %>
 ```
 
+Direct uploads are enabled by default via Active Storage JavaScript. See [CLAUDE.md](CLAUDE.md) for detailed implementation.
