Cloudinary alternative: Rapidfile Media compared
Cloudinary is a full media platform with on-the-fly transformations, measured in credits. Rapidfile Media (media.rapidfile.cc) is simpler: image, video and audio hosting with share pages, embeds and direct CDN links, included with paid Enzonic plans. If you need transformations, Cloudinary remains the stronger tool.
