When uploading to Azure Storage, does FineUploader send the file directly to Azure Storage or to the server first?
I noticed on the website that with S3, one can upload directly but the fact that S3 was singled out got me curious.
I'm looking for a really robust solution to upload files - even large files up to 10 GB - to Azure Storage. Wanted to see if FineUploader could be the answer for me.
Fine Uploader Azure sends the files directly to Azure Cloud Storage. You do need a server to generate Shared Access Signatures for each request. Fine Uploader Azure will contact your SAS server before each upload request (or before any request to Azure) to obtain a SAS. More information on the Azure feature page at http://docs.fineuploader.com/features/azure.html.
Fine Uploader S3 functions using a similar workflow, but there is also an option to upload files directly to S3 without maintaining your own signature server. That particular option is not available with Fine Uploader Azure.
