 * Hi
 * Can you tell me if there are any plans to integrate 3rd party image hosting services
   such as Cloudinary with WPPA? if not, is this something that could be done as
   a custom job?
 * Many thanks,
    Neil

 * 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](http://cloudinary.com/documentation/php_integration)
 * [https://github.com/cloudinary/cloudinary_php](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

 * 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.
