Hello @airblade,

This is such a great implementation! I'm using Rails 5 with aws-sdk gem v 2.3.0. Is there a solution for that version?

Thanks!

Thanks! this worked like a charm!!

For people implementing this, the duplicated record must be saved before calling copy_attachments_from.

working with gem 'aws-sdk-s3' '1.30' but I had to remove the gem version checker of the top.

Thanks a lot.
