Yes there are plans. If you have knowledge of how to do this ( accessing ( i.e. reading and writing ) remote hosted files ) or can find documentation about this topic, that would speed up the process.

Thanks for your response and good to hear that you’re considering these integrations.
Regarding Cloudinary, here is the information they have provided me for the integration:
http://cloudinary.com/documentation/php_integration
https://github.com/cloudinary/cloudinary_php
Unfortunately, I don’t possess the knowledge or skill to be able to do this myself so I look forward to further WPPA updates!
Many thanks,
Neil
Thank you for the info. to be continued…
Hi,
If you have any questions about the integration, we’ll be happy to help. Please contact us at support@cloudinary.com
Thank you, I think i can begin with this topic next week.
@neil Maxwell-Keys:
I am currently working on this project.
My question is: what is your major aim: saving disk space on the server or speed-up the image delivery?
In other words: are you interested in an intermediate version that saves the images on cloudinary, and reads them from there, while they also are still on your server. ( So we still have the files on the server as a backup )

Great to hear that you’re working on this 🙂
I’m not really too concerned about saving disk space. I’m more interested in speeding things up at our website, easing the load and reducing queries on our server. We have a large photography website where students are uploading hundreds of images each month.
So, in answer to your question:
Yes, I am interested in an intermediate version that saves the images on cloudinary, and reads them directly from there instead of the server (but yes having the files on the server still as a backup is great).
The other advantage of Cloudinary of course is the automatic image optimization and caching to speed things up further still.
Phase 1 implemented in version 5.2.0
