Execellent API support for developers.

What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of signup and very generous free tier.

I regularly run workshops in which participants build a starter web application which allows users to upload images through the browser on mobile phones.

I like the cloudinary dashboard which immidiatelly presents a code example to integrate the upload into a node.js application.

We also use cloudinary as CDN for pdf documents and host all media presented on our corporate website geolytix.com on cloudinary.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having to install the cloudinary node package is somewhat cumbersome and completely unnecessary. It is fairly easy to sign an url for upload to the cloudinary API directly from the browser. The trickiest bit was to find the example.

The media explorer interface is somewhat long in the tooth. Batch uploads could be smoother.

I'd prefer if the file name would be retained when uploading an image through the media explorer interface into a folder.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am building web applications that allow user to upload images and documents from the browser to cloudinary. An example is a mapping application which allows the user to take an image with the phone and upload the image directly to cloudinary by signing the upload URL in an AWS lambda with access to the cloudinary account secrets.
