Why Cloudinary

  • Cloudinary is the best choice right now as its free plan offers the most storage and paid plans still offer more than Amazon or Azure.
  • Their UI is also very simple and updated.
  • Allows for videos and PDF's saving.
  • Includes file size limits which we can change.

How it works

  • On file upload we Axios.post it to our accounts Cloudinary API.
  • We specify where in their database we want to save it (folders and such).
  • Each upload gets a unique ID in which we save to our database.
  • When we need to get the image we use the saved ID and Cloudinary retrieves it all done on the frontend.
