Not just a file uploader but a very easy way to add some cool uploading capabilities to your app
Time to market without having to build our own file uploader. Also, the full thought out file uploader features that were available from Filestack were a big benefit it allowing us again to go fast and get the features we wanted and needed and not have to spend our resources building it. Plus the opensource code out there is never as good or have as many features.
PROSLike that it is very flexible in that you can use their storage or your own AWS bucket or another service to store your uploaded files. They offer CD and file transformation. The fun part about the uploader is the control you have over it and the integration with 3rd party providers like Google, Instagram, Facebook, and others. It will also allow you to upload more than one file at a time. It's a very easy service to integrate with any app. We use it on mobile and web and Filestack is always quick and easy for customers to use.
CONSThe CDN and Transformation can get expensive if you have a highly trafficked site so you really have to think about how you use them. The reporting is fine for our company but some might find it lacking.

Great but Watch Out for Fees!
The product has been great minus down time and stability issues. They will also tell you to upgrade to a higher service level if you have clients outside of the USA using the service.
PROSGreat for managing uploads and simplifying the process or transforms and multi-file uploads.
CONSNo way to delete files easily. Currently we have 500k files we need deleted and are being billed an extra $500/mo for files we don't want. Good luck getting help. They will give you an excel document to say go delete them with. A simple fix in the UI but they won't since it probably makes them money.

Good functionality, but disorganized business
We used FileStack for our file conversions, and the service quality is good. But the lack of an insights dashboard made us switch.
PROSFileStack got us started quikcly with our file conversions. It was pretty straightforward to integrate with their APIs, and their conversion quality was good.
CONSThey don't have a dashboard for the file conversions. As a result, you need to 'trust' them about how many conversions you made with them, and on which files. We had several issues where they overcharged us for conversions we did not make, and after review they realized they'd had a problem on their end.

Great all-in-one file management
We use Filestack as a file uploader in our web and iOS apps. It works as promised. It's reliable and easy for our users to manage.
CONSIt feels expensive for what it is, but I haven't found a less expensive solution. It is certainly less expensive than building/maintaining the same features ourselves.

The Best Way to Share and Improve Files
This product was great for sharing and improving files quickly and effectively. We were able to share big files as well as receive small ones and improve them to make them better. No other product was able to share and improve files like Filestack and it improved our workflow greatly.
CONSThis product was tricky to navigate at first, but is easy to understand and the finished product is worth figuring out the program.
