Filestack
In testing, only Filestack could succesfully handle poor networks.
We’ve had a six year obession with upgrading the file upload experience.
Normally, 1 in 10 uploads fail. Filestack changes that.
Driven to solve the major application painpoint of unreliable uploads, we’ve designed an intelligent, global network that bests the industry average of 85% with an impressive 99.9999% upload success rate.
How our technology works
The Global Network Built For Better Uploads
Most networks are optimzed to accelerate downloads, not uploads—leaving reliable uploads a largely unsolved problem, especially on mobile.
Creating a “CDN for uploads”, Filestack has invested heavily in worldwide presence & network technology to facilitate rapid, reliable uploads.
Intelligent Ingestion™ automatically and continually responds to changing network conditions—dynamically adjusting packet sizes to guarantee upload success 99.999% of the time.
Even better, Filestack’s network can actually execute complex file transformations on the network, as files are being uploaded and still in transit.
How the Content Ingestion Network™ (CIN) Works
- The process begins when the user uploads a file from a mobile or local device.
- The file is sent to the nearest Filestack Storage Location which are geographically distributed.
- When the file reaches the nearest FIlestack Storage Location you are returned an immediately usable Filelink.
- The file uploads asynchronously from the Filestack Storage to your permanent cloud storage location.
- When the file reaches its final destination, the filelink will be updated to point to your cloud storage.
