Show uploaded files without actually re-uploading them!

[JafarAkhondali]

We're building an editor thing that needs to show previously uploaded images. Right now i'm using this:

if ( previous_image_uploaded)
    fetch( previous_image_url )
        .then((response) => response.blob())
        .then((blob) => {
            uppy.addFile({
            name: previous_image_name,
            type: blob.type,
            data: blob
        })
});

Which is not optimize at all ! It'll redownload and upload all medias again ...
How can i add a file uppy without actually uploading it again?

Hi there, we like this idea and we've moved this to our backlog as such:

• provider: MediaLibrary provider which shows you files that have already been uploaded Uppy as media library  #450, Show uploaded files without actually re-uploading them! #1121, Initialize uppy with files #1112

We don't have an ETA for this yet though, and if someone in the community feels like contributing a PR we would be very grateful! Closing this issue here now but we'll re-open when we get to it.
