Why would I deal with S3 storage directly when I can have some service like filestack handle the uploading and serving of files? upload.io is another one. I will spend some time reviewing the options.

Filestack is using S3 for file storage, but yes its a CDN rather than purely a storage. Maybe the CDN is better for your use case, I just saw you mention files specifically and S3 is generally the best way to store them CDN or not. The S3 API's are easy enough to work with that I personally wouldn't bother with the CDN if I was just storing and retrieving some files.
