What Is a Custom CNAME?
Custom CNAME is a premium Filestack feature that serves Filestack URLs from your own domain.
Your Domain in File URLs
File URLs change from https://cdn.filestackcontent.com to a domain you choose, such as https://cdn.YOUR-DOMAIN.com. The custom domain also works for API requests. In the JavaScript SDK, set the cname option: filestack.init('apikey', { cname: 'fs.mydomain.com' }).
Security Policies in Cookies
With a custom CNAME, your website can set the security policy in a cookie in place of the URL. When a file URL is opened, Filestack checks the cookie before serving the file. Shared URLs do not contain the policy.
Setup
- Filestack adds your domain to its managed wildcard SSL certificate
- You add DNS records for each Filestack service you use
- Cloud sources in the File Picker must use your own OAuth clients
- Contact the Filestack sales team to set it up
