Link isn't working... based on the title it sounds like filepicker.io -- is it different?

please try again... we weren't ready for the prime time probably :-) works for us now

Really like the look of the landing page btw... nice job.

Appears to be very similar to filepicker.io functionality-wise, but has a much cleaner design in my opinion. Good job guys.

Hi!

Thank you, this was our goal (not to be similar with filepicker.io, but to have a clean, straightforward way to handle files). :-)

Looks cool. I may want to use for my business. Can you email me - chris@clientbiller.com

Thanks!

Sorry, this comment doesn't necessarily add to the discussion, but as I noticed the founders posting here, this is directed at them:

Just looking through the Django implementation docs, it appears as though it defines a pyuploadcare.dj.FileField model field to use on my models, which is great and all, but seems like it's limiting at first glance. Is that to mean that each model can only have one file attachment?

What's the recommended workaround for the pretty common use case of having multiple files attached to a single model? A separate model table with a foreignkey?

Hi! We're working on several things you can do to avoid having a separate table, make sure to be in touch :-)

Please continue to provide feedback, it's very valuable to us, thank you!

And, of course, you can use multiple different dj.FileFields for that in one model, if you need only a limited number of images.

bmelton2• 14 years ago

Oh, I don't mind using a separate table or anything, I'm just not entirely sure if, because you're storing the files, whether or not that changes the default paradigm.

I might have worded my initial question poorly: but I could very easily have seen if the FileFields field stored a link to a bucketized URL or something, or even an array of URIs. If it's one-to-one, then that's fine, and actually means less changes to my code; I'm just not sure.

Obviously, a quick prototype will show me exactly how to implement, but I thought I'd ask while the question was hot.

I tried a video upload, it would be a killer if it can provide Other types of links like:

* The normal CDN link for HTML video players and direct download. * http pseudo streaming link for flash players * HLS streaming link for iOS devices * other formats like ogg,webm

Hey,

Yes, we're working on it! :-)

Highly recommend renaming Lifetime account to something else.
