Description
The Vallarasu Media Bucket Sync for Amazon S3 plugin, developed by vallarasuk, allows WordPress users to effortlessly sync their media library to Amazon S3.
With a master enable/disable toggle, you have complete control over whether media is synchronized to Amazon S3. Your media is securely transferred to your configured S3 bucket, saving your server space and offloading media delivery.
External services

It requires an AWS account and a configured S3 bucket.
When you choose to sync an image or file, the plugin sends the file data, file name, and MIME type directly to your configured Amazon S3 bucket via the AWS API.
