I absolutely love this plugin. I install it on every local website I work on. It’s
so helpful to develop locally without downloading all of my client’s media uploads.
Some of my clients have hundreds of gigabytes. I can’t work without it now. Thank
you for sharing it!

I’ve used this plugin from Github for maybe 7 years now. It’s nice to finally see
it in the Wordpress plugin directory This is a must use on my local

Exceptionally clean plugin with an intuitive and developer-friendly setup that can
easily be included through your site’s wp-config.php file or with a wp-cli command
like, wp config set BE_MEDIA_FROM_PRODUCTION_URL 'your-prod-website-url'. No more
setting up confusing apache redirect rules in htaccess or jumping into nginx configuration
files.

### 󠀁[Very useful, works perfectly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-useful-works-perfectly-2/)󠁿

Incredibly useful plugin when doing local development work on sites with huge media
libraries, when you don’t want to fill up your local hard drive with or spend time
syncing with your remote site.

This plugin works. It makes getting a WP install up and running easy – without having
to download a client’s 10GB+ uploads folder. So nice! Thanks!

Just a really great complement to localhost development, especially since pretty
much every backup/export utility allows excluding certain directories, like wp-content/
uploads Many thanks!
