"Great solution for our canvas printing business!"

5/5

What do you like best about Filestack?

We had our developer use Filestack to create custom sizing for our gallery wrapped canvas business. This allowed customers to select from various sizes and to upload the photo they were having made into a canvas. It worked great for us and we loved using Filestack! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Filestack?

I can't think of any downsides to Filestack. For what we were doing it worked out perfect for us and solved the problem we were having with getting customer photos sent to us along with the canvas dimensions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Generally good - some teething issues"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Filestack?

Seemless integration. Users can upload the files they need and it uploads them in chunks. Prior to filestack, we use to get a lot of failures when using the native html upload facility (recall using a javascript plugin) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Filestack?

Make it very difficult to search for files to delete them from storage. eg I can't perform a query to sort all files by size

and then delete what I need to reduce storage (am on the first plan). This should be part of every plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Takes off burden of file management"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Filestack?

Very easy to use. Our customers are using it to upload files to our system. The widget provides a seamless experience with just a couple of simple steps to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Filestack?

The rest API documentation is sometimes not clear enough.

We had issues when trying to remove uploaded files. The API fails, and the file cannot be removed for some reason.

The pricing mechanism could be described better. Not clear enough which metric contributes to the overall price in which way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
