    I’m currently using the Stateless plugin with Google Cloud Storage (GCS) for image storage. My free credit period has ended, and I’d like to switch from GCS back to local storage. As I’m relatively new to this process, I would greatly appreciate step-by-step instructions on how to:

    1. Change the storage mode from GCS to local host in the Stateless plugin
    2. Relocate all existing images from GCS to my local server

    Thank you for your assistance in helping me make this transition smoothly.

    Best regards,

    Hello @kengji ,

    Could you please tell us which WP-Stateless mode (CDN, Stateless, etc) you are currently using?

    Thanks!

    @obolgun I am using Stateless mode. When I switched mode to Backup and Run at Sync tab, all images disappeared from the website.

    @kengji do you see the images in Media Library?

    @obolgun Some images are not shown but some are shown. But now Synchronize is in progress. Should I wait until it finishes, first?

    @kengji yes, please wait until it finishes, your images should be in Media Library.

    @obolgun All done but Some images are not shown. I clicked “Regenerate and Sync with GCS” and I got this message “Both local and remote files are missing. Unable to process” So, this kind of image that does not show in Media Library I have to manually re-upload to Media Library, right? If you have another way please suggest it.

    Hello @kengji ,

    I’m sorry to hear, that some images were not synced properly. But this really depends a lot on the your set up, server environment, theme you use, editor and other factors. Each such case should be investigated separately so I think that for now the easiest and safest way is to just re-upload missing images.

    In the future we plan to enhance the sync process to make it more transparent.

    Thank you for you feedback!
