<p>Adds a new tab to the Add media screen, allowing you to pull images from Dropbox into WordPress.</p>
<p>“Sideloading” is a term given to differeniate from “uploading” or “downloading”. When you sideload an image, you’re copying it directly from Dropbox to WordPress. So if you keep your images in Dropbox, this plugin allows you to easily copy those images into WordPress.</p>
<p>After sideloading an image into WordPress, you’ll find it in the Media Library and available for use in Galleries, or as images in the Post, or just whatever you like. It’s just as if you uploaded them manually.</p>
<p>Note that sideloading many images at once may take more time than your webserver will allow. If this happens, just sideload them in smaller groups.</p>
<p>Credits:</p>
<ul>
<li>This plugin uses the Dropbox PHP code (albeit modified slightly) from https://github.com/Dropbox-PHP/dropbox-php.</li>
<li>This plugin uses the jsTree Javascript library from http://www.jstree.com/.</li>
<li>The three image icons come from the Lullacon Pack 1: http://www.lullabot.com/articles/free-gpl-icons-lullacons-pack-1</li>

Dropbox Photo Sideloader

Especially now that Dropbox has added a File Requests feature, this Sideloader plugin is a lifesaver. Version 0.6 of the plugin is working just fine for me. No problem loading images with spaces in the filename - spaces were converted to hyphens once they arrived in WordPress Media Library.
Thank you :)



Got it to work - very nice

<p><a href="http://langui.sh/cdn-tools/" title="CDN Tools Home" rel="nofollow ugc">CDN Tools</a> is a WordPress plugin that allows you to load javascript and media files to an external server to drastically speed page loads.  You can sideload data to a commercial CDN or just load your larger JS libraries (prototype, jquery) for <strong>free</strong> from Google’s servers.  CDN Tools has been designed to be as easy to use as possible, so give it a shot!  Your blog’s readers will thank you.  At this time the only commercial CDN supported is Cloud Files.  Check out the plugin homepage to view a screencast.</p>
<p><strong>1.0 requires you to reload your files! Do not upgrade until you’re ready to reload.</strong></p>

<h3>CDN Loader Dev FAQ</h3>
<h4>How do I create a new CDN class?</h4>
<p>Create a directory in cdn_classes named whatever the shortname will be.  Then create a file named loader.php inside with the same basic structure as the cloudfiles loader and do everything right. Then edit the cdn-tools.php file to add your item.  Easy as pie (if your pie is made of complexity).  I promise I’ll write some better instructions so third parties can contribute CDN plugins at some point.  Currently CDN Tools probably makes some assumptions that are Cloud Files specific.</p>
