Intelligent Ingestion
Intelligent Ingestion (FII) is a Filestack upload option that changes the size of upload parts while a file is uploading, so large files finish on slow or unstable networks.
How It Works
A large file is uploaded in parts. With Intelligent Ingestion, a part that times out is split into smaller parts and sent again, down to a minimum part size. One slow part does not stop the whole upload.
Turning It On
- Intelligent Ingestion is turned on for an application by the Filestack sales team
- In the JavaScript SDK, set the
intelligentupload option - The default maximum file size for Intelligent Ingestion uploads is 160 GB
Where It Helps
- Mobile networks
- Networks with limited or changing bandwidth
- Very large files
