HOW OUR TECHNOLOGY WORKS

The Global Network Built For Better Uploads

A simple gray outline of a smartphone with a red exclamation mark displayed on its screen, indicating a warning or alert message.

Most networks are optimzed to accelerate downloads, not uploads—leaving reliable uploads a largely unsolved problem, especially on mobile.

A gray geometric network icon featuring a large circle with four smaller connected circles inside, linked by straight lines in a pattern, on a light background.

Creating a “CDN for uploads”, Filestack has invested heavily in worldwide presence & network technology to facilitate rapid, reliable uploads.

A series of vertical bars of varying heights; all are gray except one shorter bar near the right, which is orange. The background is light gray.

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

  1. The process begins when the user uploads a file from a mobile or local device.
  2. The file is sent to the nearest Filestack Storage Location which are geographically distributed.
  3. When the file reaches the nearest FIlestack Storage Location you are returned an immediately usable Filelink.
  4. The file uploads asynchronously from the Filestack Storage to your permanent cloud storage location.
  5. When the file reaches its final destination, the filelink will be updated to point to your cloud storage.When the file reaches its final destination, the filelink will be updated to point to your cloud storage.
