Filepicker was a great way for us to let our users leverage their photos on other social accounts they have, but also, provide a very simple way to upload content to our CDN. Also, it saved TONS of time to not have to write all of this code ourselves.

Good product, and great documentation. Unfortunately, with my backbone app, Filepicker API did not work well and was not saving the image correctly. I had to hire a developer to get the issue resolved by creating a image processor on my own server rather than how Filepicker was processing my images and replacing old images with the newest upload. I tried getting support, but no solid solution was found immediately.

As relatively new users of Filepicker, we haven't had a huge number of interactions so far. I do feel that the security features could be simplified, and there are a good few features that I hope might be added over time. More code samples would be good, because the integration is actually quite simple once you figure out how. But I can say that Filepicker has solved a significant issue for us in working with files, and the few times we had questions we received relatively timely support. I would recommend Filepicker.

integration was simple, easy for us to implement and easy for our customers to use. also, very cost effective, for the price I could not hire a developer to maintain all of the functionality it offers.

The acquisition aspects of filepicker are great, and my team is happy about the speed with which I was able to allow our users to incorporate Instagram and their ilk. However, I've had slow response from service, often taking several days to get a response since it had to go to the engineers (seems there's a breakdown in that process). The file service and conversions functions are still too limited. I don't mind having to securely sign my API calls, but having to sign query string file conversions is... odd. Cloudinary got around it with their preset system, and better permission management. As is, I'll likely have to use filepicker to send to s3, then have cloudinary grab the s3 links, which is hardly an efficient methodology and involves 3 services just to display images.

We signed up to use InkFilePicker for the picture uploading and storing and it works amazingly! Unfortunately when I last looked to increase our plan with them it appears they have modeled their prices to be more inline with their File uploading competitors. We don't need the cost and overhead of a full file uploading client. We just want to continue utilizing your awesome picture uploading plugin.

- Not a big fan of the product. I rejected an upsell option and a month later i see my account is being charged twice. I was originally given a lower price plan when i joined and i was told i'd be grandfathered into that plan. However, Filepicker started charging me for the price changes even for much older billing periods when the price was low. - When i tried to cancel the service, they right away removed access to the files previously uploaded.
