Meteor Files: Resume interrupted file uploads without losing any progress

Hello Indie Hackers

Have you ever desired to shut down a computer, close a browser, cut the power, or lose the Internet connection without consequences during an important file upload? And continue uploading later without losing a single percent of upload progress, even from the other device?

If so, I'm building a solution — meteor-files.com, the file upload and sharing service built with durability, reliability, and resilience at its core.

Meteor Files is designed to withstand intermediate internet interruptions, power cutoffs, browser crashes, and system failures. In the event of an internet disconnection, the upload process will resume as soon as the connection is restored. If the software crashes or hardware fails, the upload will continue as soon as the app has been reopened. Moreover, the user has the option to resume the upload process from another device!

Meteor Files can handle massive uploads. This is the first service to overcome 5TB limit per single file upload. In fact, the top-tier plan has no limits for single-file uploads.

If you need to upload a lot of files at the same time, there is no need to worry. Meteor Files has got you covered. Simply drop a directory with thousands of files, and the app will take care of the rest. Meteor Files comes with a queue at its core, processing and uploading files meticulously, one by one.

Do you have custom storage needs? You can purchase storage on demand ranging from 1GB to 100TBs.

Enough with marketing materials, here's the back story:

Over the past nine years, I have been working on developing and maintaining the most popular file-upload library for Meteor.js. This library is used by thousands of developers across hundreds of projects globally. Through this experience, I have gained extensive knowledge about file uploads and distribution.

For the past four years, I have been incubating an idea for a new file upload service unlike anything currently available. My goal has been to create the most reliable, resilient, and durable file upload and sharing service on the market, with features that are not present in any of the existing competitors.
