Filepicker is a nice tool for uploading files - we use it to upload to amazon S3. For now i am really happy with using filepicker but there are two minor flaws and one show stopper (specific for our B2B customers) which let us change to an own implementation. The first flaw is that i can not use S3 in frankfurt because of filepicker not supporting the AWS Signature Version 4. The second is the poor interface for uploading from Google drive - it is hard to navigate to your files. What really causes the pain for leaving is rather a problem of our customers. The bigger companies we are working with are blocking filepicker within their proxies. Overall we are still satisfied =)

My experience with filepicker was really great. I took off one star only because I didn't like having to go through customer service to downgrade my account (whereas I could upgrade it automatically). Very minor issue -- wish I could only take off 1/2 star. Overall great service, nice people, simple setup, and flawless in the execution. Thanks!

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.

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.
