Quick example – skip offloading files larger than 5MB:
<pre><code>add_filter('advmo_should_offload_attachment', function($should_offload, $attachment_id) {
 $file = get_attached_file($attachment_id);
 if ($file && filesize($file) > 5 * 1024 * 1024) {
 return false;
 }
 return $should_offload;
}, 10, 2);
</code></pre>

This powerful SDK provides an easy-to-use API for managing your cloud storage operations, including file uploads, downloads, and more. The SDK is maintained by Amazon Web Services, ensuring high compatibility and performance with S3 services.

This plugin really sped up my website by offloading media to the cloud.



Highly recommend!


Improved Site Speed


Works perfectly. Only miss the WP CLI integration for quick mass upload (which already seems to be under the developer radar). Great job!
