Filestack is an advanced file upload API and service that securely stores files in the cloud. Why use a third party like Filestack over building it yourself? By using a third party you no longer need to deal with the scaling, security, and maintenance that comes with building your own file upload system. This can free you up to focus on building other important parts of your application. And you can get started for free.
Filestack has a free plan that handles up to monthly uploads with 1GB storage and 1GB bandwidth. If you need to go beyond that amount, they offer pricing that scales with use. Go to their registration page and after you log in, get the API Key, which you will use in the later steps.
For example, if they wanted to upload from a URL or from social media. Simply replace the contents of index. Then, open your page and then upload a file using the upload widget. After uploading, you should be able to log into your Filestack dashboard and see your newly uploaded file:. You may intend for a user to upload a picture of himself for a profile page, but what if he tries to upload a specially-crafted, virus-laden executable instead? One is to verify the type of the uploaded file is what it should be.
The array returned by getimagesize will contain the image type if it is recognized. For non-image files, you can use exec to invoking the unix file utility. Another step you can take is to impose hard limits on the total size of the POST request and the number of files that can be uploaded. These three directives help protect your site against attacks that try to disrupt its availability by causing heavy network traffic or system load. A third step you can take to minimize your risk is to scan uploaded files with a virus scanner.
This is vitally important in this day and age of widespread viruses and malware, especially if your site later makes uploaded files available for download by other individuals, such as with attachments in a web-based email client or a legal file-sharing site.
I also shared some extra precautions that you can take to protect yourself and your users from some of the risks associated with allowing file uploads. You saw how you can ensure the filename is safe, verify the file type, impose hard limits on upload traffic, and scan for viruses.
