If you want to sync your uploaded media before using Vultr Storage integration, click on Synchronize Media button. Then it will send all your existing media library to your Vultr Storage bucket.

Note: When you do this action the URL of your media will be replaced by the Vultr Storage URL. Please see the example below.
