Lightweight WordPress media offload for Amazon S3 and Cloudflare R2 with direct browser multipart MP4 uploads.

== Description ==

BackspaceX Direct Storage keeps the normal WordPress workflow for images and PDFs, then offloads their original and generated files to Amazon S3 or Cloudflare R2. MP4 videos use direct browser multipart upload and do not pass through the local WordPress server.

Core features:

• JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and AVIF image offload.
• PDF offload, including generated preview images where available.
• Direct browser multipart MP4 uploads to Amazon S3 and Cloudflare R2.
• Remote URL rewriting for originals, image sizes and responsive srcset URLs.
• Verified local-file removal with rollback protection.
• Bulk offload and retry manager for existing media.
• Media Library offload status and attachment storage details.
• Storage Health dashboard with persistent connection history and diagnostics.
• Bounded activity log for offloads, multipart uploads and system errors.
• No Composer dependency and no bundled AWS SDK.

== Installation ==

1. Upload and activate the plugin.
2. Open Settings > Direct Storage.
3. Select Amazon S3 or Cloudflare R2 and enter the provider credentials.
4. Save settings and run Test Connection.
5. Configure bucket public delivery and CORS before direct MP4 uploads.
6. Use Media > Bulk Offload for existing images and PDFs.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does an MP4 pass through the WordPress server? =

No. Direct MP4 Upload sends multipart chunks from the browser to the configured S3-compatible provider. WordPress only signs requests and creates the Media Library attachment after completion.

= Does uninstall delete remote files? =

No. Uninstall removes plugin settings, logs and WordPress attachment metadata only. Remote provider objects are intentionally preserved.

= Is Cloudflare R2 supported? =

Yes. Connection testing, image/PDF offload, URL rewriting, safe local cleanup, bulk offload and multipart MP4 uploads support Cloudflare R2.
