Problem/Motivation

Development environments often require access to production or staging files without manually syncing the entire sites/default/files directory. This is especially important for media-heavy Varbase sites where downloading all assets is slow and unnecessary.

The Stage File Proxy module allows development environments to automatically fetch missing files from a remote origin (such as production or staging) on demand. This significantly improves developer experience and reduces setup time.

Proposed resolution

  • Add drupal/stage_file_proxy to in the composer.json file.
  • Optional in local dev env. ( DDEV ) Allow developers to configure remote origin for file fallback.

This improves developer workflow and reduces the need for full file syncs.
