Does anyone else have any experience with Ink File Picker? I recently learned about the service and am considering it for an upcoming project, but I have concerns about entrusting a startup with a critical piece of infrastructure and would hate to have to re-write file uploads if Ink gets bought or decides to shutdown. We've already experienced this with SimpleGeo and had to re-write quite a bit of code when they pivoted.

We use it at http://virtualstagingsolutions.com http://virtualstagingsolutions.com and rely heavily on file uploads. We started using it right when they launched (back when they were filepicker.io) and initially there were some bugs with resizing images. Lately everything has worked pretty well. Their support seems pretty responsive and I've only noticed 1 period of downtime within the last 6 months or so which completely made it impossible for our users to upload anything. I'll admit that I'm not 100% comfortable using them because I'm really not sure where they are going in the future, by the looks of their pricing plans it seems like they would need huge scale to turn a profit and I just don't see them getting that scale at the moment.
