Retain Admin uploads, and offload user uploads

Hi,

Thanks for contacting us here about this extension.

I want to offload all these pictures to GoogLe Cloud, but I want Admin uploaded pictures to remain on the website, while user uploaded pictures should be offloaded to Google Cloud.

Can I achieve this, with your plugin?

We offer the choice to either retain or delete files after they have been uploaded to the Google Cloud server.

Cheers,

Thank You for your response. Now, this is your reply:

You see, this your answer is obvious. I know it already that I can retain or delete files after they have been uploaded to the Google Cloud server.

The problem is that, this your reply doesn't address what I am asking about.

What I am asking about is, ROLE BASED OFFLOAD.

Role based offload, means that if Admin is the person uploading the pictures, they stay in the Media Library.

But if it is other users from Subscriber to Editor User Role, the Pictures, Videos, and other Media uploaded by these non-admin user roles, will get offloaded to Google Cloud Storage.

That use case as described above, is what I am asking about.

ANALYSING YOUR RESPONSE
When you said "We offer the choice to either retain or delete files after they have been uploaded to the Google Cloud server"

Your response in narrow, and does not address my issue.

The reason is because, if I choose to retain the files after they have been uploaded to the Google Cloud Server, I will still be retaining user uploaded files.

What I am asking for, is a way to filter user uploads from Admin uploads, then offload only user uploaded files to Google Cloud Server, while only Admin uploaded files gets retained.

Do you understand my situation now?

Regards.

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me with more information.

We have taken note of your idea to offload files based on user roles and added it to our planning list.
However, please be aware that this functionality is currently not possible in our plugin.

Cheers,

Now that we have seen that there's such a Use case where Admin uploads should remain in the WordPress Media Library, while User uploads should be offloaded to Google Cloud.

Have you started work on it, so that you can release it soon in your next update?

Waiting to hear from you soon.

Regards.
