Does This Plugin Upload Existing Images

I also need to know this…

Included another things: if i use Google bucket for all the old images (current images) can i remove all the images from the web hosting server? or i need to keep both?

@banglablog Once you have all your current images within a Google bucket, you will be able to remove them from your server.

@daniel27lt can you please confirm whether we can move existing images to Google Cloud Storage.

@rohitmanglik I have not head back from anyone who uses this plugin about this question nor have I heard back from the developer.

I’ve not used this plugin yet as I’m using Amazons3 currently (and was planning to move to Google Cloud). I think the best way would be to make a new WordPress installation and install this plugin and test it to see if it works.

I have not done this, but when the times comes I think I’ll be doing it this way if I get no response of answers from any research online.

I hope this helps.

@daniel27lt Thanks for the information.

Yes, that’s the only solution; however if it is not actively supported, I doubt whether it should be used.

I have 50GB of Images (targeting 150GB in next 2 month) in my server and I am using Google Persistent Storage in my Google Compute Engine. I believe if I move all my images to the Google Bucket, I will be able to

a) Move my original codebase from Magnetic persistent to SSD Persistent. Thus will have better performance (only 10GB of data then). – Actually there won’t be many changes in code so is it necessary – debatable for me.

b) Cut down cost (of images) to half with higher performance. – Network Egress will be less because of Cloudflare

c) Less number of IOPS for Image Optimization or any cron jobs.

From your Amazon S3 experience, am I correct?

@rohitmanglik That’s okay. I wish I could be more of help.

With (a) I’m not to sure as I’ve never had to do this, but by what you stated sounds correct.

With (b), yes that’s correct, and will be a good reason I will be moving from Amazons3 to Google Cloud.

And with (c), this can be the case.

@daniel27lt thanks for your views. ??

Hello,

Sorry about the wait, is your questions still accurate @rohitmanglik?

Hi @elena,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

Yes, does the plugin move all the existing images? Cam you please make a compatibility check with latest version of WordPress and update accordingly.

Many of us have more tens of GBs of Data so just wanted to be doubly sure.

Thanks
Rohit

Hello,

If you go to Tool in your dashboard, you should see stateless sync menu option, there you will see a screen where you can upload images from your local site ??

Let me know if you have further questions.

Hi Elena,

Thanks for your information. I start the process but it’s not working over the 10 minutes. Does it need more time to processing? Will this plugin replace the the existing media files links to new storage link? If i delete the existing images from my local server will it work fine with cloud images?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Again,

I am able to export all images from local server to google cloud storage. As well as, the plugin changed all media files link to cloud links. But here is one big problem, this plugin doesn’t change the media file link in posts. In post the media is showing from local server links. I have more than 35K images on my site. And it’s impossible to replace the cloud images link on every posts. Is there any solution for this?

waiting for your answer.

Hi @dkpalash

Even I am planning to use this plugin.Had your issue been resolved regarding the post link?
