Media Cloud Sync is an innovative plugin for WordPress that dramatically transforms how you interact with media and increases your website’s performance. This plugin allows you to transfer your files, media, and images from a WordPress server to online cloud storage, such as Amazon S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, Google Cloud Storage, Cloudflare R2 and S3 Compatible Services. It also rewrites URLs to serve files from the same storage provider or another CDN provider.
You can sync both new media files as well as existing media from your WordPress Media Library to your configured cloud storage, making it easy to sync older medias to cloud storage.

<h3>Basic Features</h3>
The Media Cloud Sync plugin significantly enhances your website’s speed by offloading media to cloud servers. This approach allows your site to load more efficiently, as it reduces the number of server requests, ultimately resulting in faster page load times. Once media files—such as images, videos, PDFs, and ZIP files—are uploaded to the cloud, your server no longer needs to handle these files, freeing up resources.

🔹 Seamlessly sync your media to popular cloud storage solutions like Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, DigitalOcean Spaces, Cloudflare R2, or S3 Compatible Services. 
🔹 Sync existing media from your WordPress Media Library to the cloud with a simple migration tool. 
🔹 Automatically delete files from the server after they are uploaded to the cloud, optimizing storage use. 
🔹 Customize the base path for server storage to suit your organizational needs. 
🔹 Tailor the URL structure for your media files to enhance your site’s SEO and user experience. 
🔹 Enable object versioning to prevent invalidations of your media files. 
🔹 Utilize a custom CDN for serving your media URLs, improving loading speeds and reliability.
