Hey Nihaal, Your logic flow must look like this. I tried it myself and its working. 

Points to make sure :

1) Attribute length for URL must be Text and Max length must be sufficiently large (about 100).

2)The input from the scree should be in form of text.

3)the entity (FileData)created as with attributes  follows: Id, File(Binary data)(Here File will be stored), FileUrl(Text)(Here we will insert the URL). 

In the below picture you can see the file got saved.

Hi Nikhil,

Actually my requirement is user will paste a link of a file in the input and we have to get that file from the link and save to the database.

What to send the arguments for the URL - "https://www.cmu.edu/blackboard/files/evaluate/tests-example.xls" in the getsubmit_request action. I used that in my logic but while debugging it is returns nothing.
