Just Works
A little technical but that's when I was creating my Cloudflare R2 storage. The app is straightforward. However, it seems my webp images aren't sent to the bucket. Thanks

Does not work on WordPress.com
This plugin is broken on Wordpress.com hosting. I want to make this clear, that this is not a fault of the developer, though. Jetpack (even with image optimization off) automatically messes with some of the thumbnails, which leads to the plugin's offloading feature failing repeatedly. (From what I can tell, it adds the virtual:true flag to the image). Regenerating thumbnails doesn't work. I gave this a 3-star and not a 1-star because I migrated to a self-hosted setup, and it's working fine.

Super great!
Thank you for this amazing plugin! It works like a charm, out of the box. I've tried it with all sorts of different s3 storage providers, even some lesser known. It worked with all, custom URLs and all... Just great, congrats!

Amazing Plugin
I don’t have experience with other offloading plugins, but Advanced Media Offloader has been an absolute joy to use — simple, intuitive, and straightforward.
