<p>DX Delete Attached Media deletes all of the attached media files to your posts once they get deleted from the system. The standard core behavior deletes posts alone without taking care of related images. Now you can maintain your install and get rid of all solo attachments getting into your posts via the Media button and used nowhere else.</p>
<p><em>The plugin works with WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads.</em></p>

Does exactly what its supposed to do. Been looking for a plugin like this for some time.

Great plugin

Automatically deletes attached media from posts and custom post types added via the Media button.

<p>This plugin allow you to add files into your media library without having to upload them. So, you will be able to share, for example, your files into your Google Drive.<br />
This also save you steps to download the image to local computer and upload again to your own WordPress.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Automatically downloads and adds the file to the media library.</li>
<li>After the uploading is successful, you are redirected to the edit screen</li>
<li>A new dropdown list is available in the media library to let you display only uploaded files, not uploaded files, …</li>
</ul>


Add Media from URL

large chunks of code taken from the much better original here:

https://en-au.wordpress.org/plugins/lh-add-media-from-url/

IMO it unethical to use this plugin

A crappy clone of the original

Let you add media files into your media library without having to upload them.
