FileStack Reviews

One way or another Filestack has a solution to probably all the use cases that you might encounter when you are doing something with files. I feel confident when I have an edge-case related to file handling. Also, I do not know how you people are doing it but never gets broken :)

Undoubtedly, Filestack is worth its price. Nevertheless, I was unable to use it in a few other projects/products because of the price.

When working serverless on AWS file handling stuff gets a bit more cumbersome. Filestack almost abstracts all those complications away. Filestack makes serverless file handling easy and possible.

We adopted Filestack to help ease the hassles of uploading and transcoding images, videos, and PDFs. Customer expectations around media handling have increased greatly over the past few years, and there are many tricky issues to solve. These can all be addressed through a combination of open-source libraries and custom implementation - which is the right approach in some cases. But for smaller dev/product teams, or when budget is more available than engineering time, Filestack's uploading and transcoding tools can save precious time.

While the transcoding and CDN are very convenient, they could become very expensive conveniences as upload volume and bandwidth usage grows.

Saving engineering time

Their system is very reliable. We integrated Filestack into our site years ago and have never had any major issues. The fact that they combine a content delivery network into their solution means that uploading and delivering files to users is always fast, even internationally. They have easy plug-and-play code that you can grab and use right away, or customize using their APIs.

Their out-of-the-box image cropping tools don't have all the features I'd want out of an image upload tool. But there's enough flexibility that we can work around that. Also, while they have AI object recognition, the price has always been too high for us, such that we gravitate toward more custom / open-source solutions.

Filestack handles file transfer, file storage, scaling images to different sizes (e.g. thumbnails, previews, HD, etc), and more. The CDN means that our tools work just as well all over the globe.

We had our developer use Filestack to create custom sizing for our gallery wrapped canvas business. This allowed customers to select from various sizes and to upload the photo they were having made into a canvas. It worked great for us and we loved using Filestack!

I can't think of any downsides to Filestack. For what we were doing it worked out perfect for us and solved the problem we were having with getting customer photos sent to us along with the canvas dimensions.

Filestack made it possible for us to obtain customer images along with the exact sizing needed for creating gallery wrapped canvas prints for customers. Without Filestack we had not way to do this through our cart.

- Letting users upload files from their computers or services

Easy interface for the web client, easy to implement, very fast to upload files, and easy to integrate with Google Drive.

As developer Maybe more SDKs because we use Flutter and there is not a helper or lib for that and maybe a better free option to make tests

Filestack help us to make the files upload more fast, secure and we can upload big files in a very easy way (web client)

Ease of use is incredible. Reliable front end user interface.

Documentation could be better. There were and still are some js interference issues that prevents the url image function.

Filestack helps us serve our users a simplified and dependable method of uploading files to our system.
