BY FAR THE BEST MEDIA OFFLOAD PLUGIN FOR WP! EVEN SO, IT HAS BEEN ABANDONED :(
-
I started developing my app with MediaCloud and I was amazed about how great this plugin is built. Not only the UI but also the huge amount of settings which MediaCloud offers is just awesome. They really thought about every single detail and I can only imagine how much effort has been invested in this project. Also, the support was really good and pretty quick helping me get some issues fixed. Once set, MediaCloud works like a charm. Backend and frontend uploads work perfectly. All image dimensions are served in backend and frontend without a single issue. Also, XML uploads with WP All Import work without a single issue. Plus, MediaCloud, BESIDES OF NOT SLOWING DOWN YOUR WP, IT REALLY INCREASES SPEED AND PERFORMANCE! Unfortunately, THE PLUGIN HAS BEEN ABANDONED. This was a big hit for me as 90% of my app is based on media files managing infinite amounts. I was so angry and disappointed as I was only a few weeks away from launching, that I changed my plugin-review from 5 to 1 star. And now, I’m changing it again to 5 stars! There are 2 reasons: 1. I hope that this review reaches MediaCloud ‘s developer to serve him/them like a small light at the end of the tunnel. I would be the happiest guy in the world if MediaCloud celebrates itss comeback! Reason nr. 2: I’ve spent one month now testing all existing plugins for offloading media files and there is no single one which could be close by far to MediaCloud. Right now, there are 2 categories of available plugins: In one, there’s a plugin whose brand includes the word “brains” and who are trying to take over the whole market for their app. Besides of having a really disgusting name & logo, they are charging such insane amounts of money that you can actually buy a brand new MacBook M3. Also, they’re limiting the number of uploads if you prefer to buy a new MacBook instead of paying their fake “lifetime” license which only includes updates during the first year. The second category of available plugins are trying to provide solutions which are simply not working. They are not only slowing down your WP, they ALL are having huge issues with compatibilities and not only that, also images are not served properly braking your frames, slowing down significantly the upload speed and a really laaaaaarge etcetera. Those like me, who understand the huge importance of outsourcing media files to the cloud, can only hope that MediaCloud will get back and continue such an insanely great project. Once people realize, how important serving media files via cloud + CDN actually is, MediaCloud will be the big rockstar on the sky!
