Feature Request: A Toggle Button to ‘Offload Media Library’

Hello,

I hope this is the right forum to make a new feature request.

Three months ago, I initiated a project to test leveraging Photon to ‘offload’ the media library to WordPress dot com servers. Jetpack support team confirmed here that the approach I took is okay. The test is successful and I have rolled out the changes to production.

This approach has saved our site about 500% disk space resulting in quick backups, faster security scans, and better loading speed for site visitors.

I wonder whether this option could be included in a future release of Jetpack as a toggle button to say,

Offload Media Library

? The toggle could activate a standard WordPress filter to disable thumbnails on the server, while Photon takes care of the rest (scaling images on-the-fly, delivering WebP images, etc.).

add_filter( 'intermediate_image_sizes', '__return_empty_array', 999 );

Kind regards,
