Storage Settings

The Storage Settings section allows you to configure how media files are offloaded, stored, and managed in your selected cloud storage provider.

🔧 Storage Provider

• Provider: Displays the currently selected storage service (e.g., AWS S3, Bunny Storage).
• Storage Name: The internal name for the storage setup.
• Preview URL: Shows how the media URL will appear when offloaded, including:
  • Scheme: URL protocol (e.g., https://)
  • Prefix: Directory or bucket path (e.g., wordpress/wp-content/uploads/)
  • Filename: Final media file name (e.g., photo.jpg)

⚙️ General Options

• Offload media
  Toggle to enable/disable automatic offloading of media files to the storage provider after upload.
• Copy to local server
  When enabled, uploaded media files are also saved to the local server alongside the offloaded version (via Next3 File Manager).

📁 Setup Path

Customize how your media files are stored and organized in your bucket:

• Add prefix to bucket path
  Appends a common prefix (wordpress/wp-content/uploads/) to help group media from the same site.
• Add year & month to bucket path
  Enhances file organization by including year and month in the bucket path.
• Add object version to bucket path
  Adds a unique timestamp for each uploaded file version to avoid overwriting and assist with versioning.
• Rename files
  Automatically renames uploaded files using a unique name to prevent duplication.

📂 File Management

• Offload (multiple mime types) format to cloud
  Enable this option to allow multiple file formats (not just images) to be offloaded.
• Select files extension
  Choose which file types are allowed for offloading.
• SVG file support
  Toggle this option to allow uploading and offloading of .svg files.

⚙️ Advanced Options

• Remove local media
  Deletes the local version of the file after offloading to save space.
• Remove files from cloud
  Deletes files from cloud storage when removed from the WordPress Media Library.
• Offload settings
  • Offload limit: Set the maximum number of files to offload in one batch (max: 20,000).
  • Pagination: Defines how many files to process per page/batch.

🌐 External Media Options

• Unselect WP media when sync
  If enabled, WordPress-native media files will not be synced unless specifically selected.
• Remove external local media
  Deletes local copies of externally uploaded media once offloaded, helping save storage space.
