This plugin allows you to examine all files within the <code>uploads</code> directory to determine which ones are present in the Media Library and which ones are just sitting there unused. You can then choose the files you want to import into the database, thereby including them in the Media Library.
Moreover, you can utilize FTP to upload files directly to the <code>uploads</code> directory and subsequently add these files to the Media Library avoiding any file size limitations.
<h4>Disclaimers</h4>
<ol>
<li>
“1 file first” 
Please try to import only one file first – to see if it works as you expected.
</li>
<li>
“All at once” 
This plugin is designed for scanning, selecting, and importing all files at once. However, based on your server’s configuration, memory, and timeout challenges may arise with extensive file quantities. To mitigate this, a newly revamped <a href="https://mediasyncplugin.com/?utm_source=readme&utm_medium=base_plugin&utm_campaign=aao" rel="nofollow ugc">pro version</a> employs incremental directory scans to effectively tackle these issues.
</li>
<li>
“Your setup is unique” 
Please be aware that every WordPress installation is unique, and there may be instances where this plugin does not function as expected. Should this occur, we recommend enabling the debugging feature in the plugin’s settings to identify the issue. After investigating, kindly provide a detailed description of your findings in the Support section (or <a href="https://users.freemius.com/store/6428/support" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a> if you’re using pro version). The more comprehensive the details, the higher the likelihood of resolving the problem effectively.
</li>
</ol>
<h4>Ignored files</h4>
<ul>
<li>various hidden files (.DS_Store, .htaccess),</li>
<li>WP generated thumbnails (files ending with for example -100×100.jpg),</li>
<li>WP generated scaled images (files ending with -scaled),</li>
<li>optimized .webp versions of original images (.jpg.webp),</li>
<li>retina thumbnails (-100×100@2x.jpg).</li>
</ul>
These can be modified and enhanced using the new advanced filters available in the <a href="https://mediasyncplugin.com/?utm_source=readme&utm_medium=base_plugin&utm_campaign=df" rel="nofollow ugc">pro version</a>.

Media Sync

The settings are easy to understand. I love that you can drill down and pick a specific folder to see the media there, and that you can do a dry run without saving changes. It's really well-thought-out, and perfect if you have the specific need to import media from the filesystem into new records in the database. 

Works perfectly

I love how it just works with little to no configuration

It just works


Needed a quick import after FTP upload. Worked as described. Thanks.


Worked perfectly!


Easy to set up and re-import of all media files possible. 


Works great

Simple plugin to scan "uploads" directory and bring those files into Media Library.

File Manager


This is a great plugin, helps me so much when customers cannot set up proper FTP access!


One of the best tools!


It's a very helpful plugin when you want to edit your website files without FTP/SFTP access. You can do all the things that you can do on your local PC's file manager


Very helpful plugin


When I double click on wp-content folder it does not open then in left little sidebar I try to expand by clicking plus icon it open and after a while it collapse quick.



Bad experience with a number one plugin :(



I was saving a file while my internet connection interrupted and the whole site crashed, even after i deactivated the plugin my site is still not loading any more! This is a shame! 


Never Use it, Made My Whole Site Crashed

file manager provides you ability to edit, delete, upload, download, copy and paste files and folders.
