File+ is a dedicated file management and file conversion API for online files and media. Simple to integrate, it provides an engine that allows large scale online file storage as well as the mapping of input files to series of commands for producing file conversion by means of a simple configuration process. File+ allows you to take control of your file and media ingest, management and output using a simple REST API.
