This is a bit late to answer this question, but I use services like localtunnel - https://localtunnel.github.io/www/ to copy files from local machine to heroku.

First, run a python HTTP server in the directory where the file is located.

cd /path/to/file
python3 -m http.server

This starts a server in port 8000. Configure localtunnel to connect to that port.

lt -s mylocal -p 8000

Now from your heroku machine, you can fetch the file via curl.

curl -XGET http://mylocal.localtunnel.me/myfile.txt > myfile.txt
