    Great plugin, thanks for it.

    Finally got it to work and just wanted to ask a few questions..

    1. Media is not automatically offloaded when uploaded and requires clicking the “offload” button right?
    2. Within “Smart Local Cleanup – Remove local copies after cloud offloading, but keep the original file as a backup. Balances storage efficiency with data safety.” Where does it “keep” the original files as a backup? If its on the Amazon S3 side, how would you easily “backup” or revert the media files back to your website if something goes wrong?
    3. Full Cloud Migration sounds ideal, but how big is the risk? I guess as a user we would have to rely on the plugin always working and for amazon s3 to be stable. Obviously that creates some anxiety for a user looking to scale a community website.

    Just a few questions on my mind..

    Thanks

    Hello,

    Thank you for using Advanced Media Offloader!

    1. Automatic Offloading: Media files are automatically offloaded to cloud storage when uploaded. The “Bulk Offload” button is only for media uploaded before installing the plugin.

    2. Smart Local Cleanup: The original file is kept on your server where your site hosted as a backup, but WordPress-generated image sizes are deleted. This balances storage efficiency and safety.

    3. Full Cloud Migration: It works seamlessly as long as you manage your cloud storage responsibly—ensure you maintain access and avoid accidental file deletion or compromise.

    Let us know if you have more questions—we’re here to help!
