Make uploads 100x more reliable
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.
Guarantee that all of your files are securely uploaded, every time
