As an alternative to Cloudinary, Filestack allows you to upload large files in smaller, more manageable chunks. You can enjoy up to 350 GB of Filestack storage which you can further extend by connecting a cloud storage solution like Google Cloud or Amazon S3.
Filestack protects your documents through several security policies designed to prevent unauthorized access. Some of these policies are OAuth 2.0 authentication and signed URLs. You can also block requests from unapproved websites by using the Domain Whitelisting feature where you specify the approved domain allowed to upload files to your storage account.
As a Filestack alternative, Cloudinary supports industry-approved security standards to protect your documents. It conducts routine penetration tests by third-party security experts to determine any loopholes in its security system. It also has the Bug Bounty Program, a globally crowdsourced vulnerability and risk detection, participated by dozens of security researchers monitoring your data for any irregularities.
Cloudinary uses access controls, single-sign-on, strict access patterns, and multi-factor authentication to control who views, modifies, and edits your files. Access is fully monitored, end-to-end, and follows the least privilege principle.
By default, anyone can upload to your Filestack account as long as they have the API to upload files. However, only those with sufficient access control credentials can modify existing files and change access settings. You can restrict uploads to authorized persons only by creating security policies requiring users to verify credentials when uploading files.
Filestack guarantees 99.99% successful uploads whether you’re on a high-speed or rural high-latency network. This is possible with the Filestack Intelligent Ingestion feature which can determine poor network conditions and adjust multi-part parameters on the fly.
As an alternative to Filestack, Cloudinary uses a third-party provider to measure and publish their system availability. They also commit 99.9% uptime, providing real-time service status reports and outage alerts on service disruptions.
Cloudinary enables automatic and secure redundant backups of all your original files uploaded to your own cloud storage or Cloudinary’s provided storage. You can also access historical versions of these files for easy recovery.
As a Cloudinary alternative, Filestack ensures your files are available anytime you need them by giving you the freedom to configure a backup storage solution in another S3 cloud region or cloud storage provider.
