Choose Specific Folders for External Media Offloading
With the External Offload Media addon in Next3Offload, you can select exact folders from your WordPress uploads directory to manage and offload external media files.
This feature is designed for files created outside the default WordPress Media Library, allowing greater flexibility and organization. By choosing only the folders you want to sync, you gain full control over storage usage and offloading actions.
It helps you avoid unnecessary uploads while keeping important assets protected in the cloud. This selective approach ensures efficient performance and better media management.
Start Syncing Your Chosen Media Folders
After selecting your preferred folders, simply click the Sync Now button to begin scanning for external media files.
The tool detects files generated outside the WordPress Media Library, whether uploaded manually or created by third-party plugins. Once identified, these files are prepared for seamless offloading to your cloud storage.
This process gives you complete control over what gets synced, helping you avoid unnecessary uploads. With selective syncing, you can manage storage efficiently and keep your media collection clean and organized.
Offload External Media & Manage Cloud URLs with Ease
Once your selected folders are synced, click the Offload button to move all detected external media files from your server to your configured cloud storage provider (such as Bunny.net, AWS, or Cloudflare).
After offloading, the files will appear in the External Offload Files section for easy management. You can view detailed file information, copy their cloud-hosted URLs, and handle external links directly within the plugin.
This streamlined process reduces local storage usage while keeping your file references secure and accessible. It provides full visibility and control over your externally stored media.
Effortlessly Use Offloaded Media in Gutenberg
After your media files are offloaded to the cloud, you can easily embed them into posts and pages using dedicated Gutenberg blocks like External Media – Next3 and External Media Gallery – Next3.
These custom blocks appear inside the WordPress editor, letting you browse and insert cloud-hosted media just like native library items. You can choose individual images or entire galleries without switching screens or downloading files.
This seamless integration ensures a smooth content workflow while maximizing performance benefits. Enjoy full creative control with instant access to your offloaded media assets.
Showcase Cloud-Stored Images with the External Media Gallery Block
The External Media Gallery – Next3 block lets you easily display offloaded media directly within the WordPress Gutenberg editor. You can search, select, and insert multiple cloud-hosted images into your posts or pages without returning to local storage.
Customize your gallery by adjusting layout options like image size, spacing, and column count. This streamlined workflow enables beautiful visual content while reducing server load. Enjoy effortless gallery creation powered by secure, cloud-based media.
