Showing Media from all Multisites

    Is there a way to show all of the media on all of the subsites (using multisite) on one page, rather than having to go to each subsite to see their media.

    I need a ‘master media’ page so I can view (and edit, etc) all of the media from all of the sites. Having the ‘master media’ page will be more efficient than going to each sub-site’s Media page.

    Thanks..Rick.

    Pretty sure the Network Shared Media plugin allows you to do this.

    Hope this helps.

    That plugin allows you to look at the media on other blogs (sub-sites), but doesn’t (as far as I can tell from the description) show a ‘global-all-media-on-all-blogs-on-one-page’– which is what I was looking for.

    It’s also not clear if it works on a multi-site installation; in fact, one review (although old) says it does not work on multisite.

    I store all my media in Google Drive, and I use the Use My Drive plugin to access all my media files on my multisite websites.

    I enable the plugin for each site in my multisite setup where I want to use media sharing, I can link user to a specific Google drive folder – so I can different folders for different type of users.

    The advantage that I get, are many. I take a lot of pictures for one of my websites, I use a mobile camera to take most these pictures, they are automatically synced to the Google Drive Phot folder, with the Use My Drive plugin, I have immediate access to my pictures. No need to download to your hard drive, and then upload to your media. By embedding photos or other media from Google Drive, I save on bandwidth, I have all my images backed up by Google – no need to do that on WP – all backup I now requires is of the WP DB.

    I hope that helps you.
