As a long time Rails developer, I'd say the accepted gold standard for file upload hosting/etc is Amazon S3. Storage and bandwidth are both extremely cheap and reliable. You might look into 'carrierwave' to handle the uploads and URL generation more smoothly. You can also setup direct upload to an S3 bucket from the users browser (via CORS), check out 'carrierwave-direct' for that.
