Sure, you can use e.g. the “Generic File Storage” on [bitrise.io](http://bitrise.io) to upload/store the file, and use a File Downloader step to download it during the build to the location you want to.

Please see my related comment/answer for more details at: [Adding/overwriting configuration files (secrets, gitignored, not in repository)](http://discuss.bitrise.io/t/adding-overwriting-configuration-files-secrets-gitignored-not-in-repository/301/2?u=viktorbenei)
