Hello

We are launching Meteor Files in open beta! A new player in file sharing and upload niche.

Key features:

1. We are the first service to allow single file uploads over 5TB. In fact, our top-tier plan has no limit for single file size

2. Resumable and resilient uploads with multi-layered fail-overs

3. Start upload on one device — continue on another

Encouraging you to register and try it while it's baking hot right from the oven. We are looking forward to getting feedback regarding the following: UI/UX, Design impressions, Pricing & Plans impressions, Upload speed and concurrency, and Download speed.

Back story: I'm an active open-source contributor and maintainer. I have developed and contributed to NPM and Meteor.js packages for more than ten years. In 2015, I published the first version of the "files" package for the Meteor.js ecosystem (at Atmospherejs). Since then, it has become the most popular solution for file uploads within Meteor.js. During all those years of active development, I've learned a lot about file uploads and delivery.

I've been lucky enough to work in the media production industry and see from the inside how often employees struggle and have to wait longer hours for source files to get to 100% before they can call it a day. That's why one of the first features I wanted to deliver is the ability to resume the same file upload from a different device as long as the original file remains in the user's possession, like on a hard drive or USB thumb.

Today, I have a small (but very talented) team, and we are happy to bring Meteor Files to life as SaaS. I've put all my previous experience to the goal of building the most reliable, resilient, and durable file upload and sharing service with features not present by competitors.

More features coming soon: Resumable downloads, Team and project management, BYOS — bring your own storage, Hosted solution, White label.

Let us know what is the most crucial feature in file uploads and sharing for you and your business




Does (or will) your service have the opportunity to expand file storage without changing the tariff plan?


Yes, once trial period is over, users can select and purchase additional storage as little as 1GB up to 100TB on any subscription plan. Thank you for the question


Could I upload the same file simultaneously from two different devices? Will it be faster?


Yes you can. But it would result in having the same file uploaded twice, hence it won't result in speed/performance improvements. Got to mention that your question poses an interesting feature itself we will look into possibility of implementing such feature


How come Medium plan having 500GB storage, but 1TB file size limit?


Thank you for the question. Additional storage (up to 100TB) is available on demand. Desired storage size can get selected at the end of billing/pricing page


How long can I store my files?


Forever. Unless manually removed, account cancelled, or was unpaid
