 * Is there anyway to use Cloudinary for the Default WP uploads folder and also 
   have month- and year-based folders ?
 * if it matters, this would be for a WP Multisite network (so option to have different
   cloudinary account per subsite would be best, but not mandatory)
 * this would be a MASSIVE benefit

 * You might want to have a look at our upload presets:

 * You can create an upload preset, and set its parameters the way you’d like, including
   automatically put all newly uploaded resources a folder, e.g., `Jan2015`. Set
   this preset as a default upload preset, so it’ll be applied to all uploads.
 * Then, you’ll be able to update this preset once a month to have the corresponding
   folder name.

 * Hi – thanks for responding.
 * However my eyes sort of glass over and my dog starts whining when I try to absorb
   that article.
 * What would sell like hotcakes is a plugin… that automagically uses the default
   WordPress Uploads folder with year and month folders, and has that reside on 
   Cloudinary. use it as a Push CDN
 * simple edits to wp-config can redirect wp-contents or uploads to an offsite location,
   but not sure if going ahead and adding years and months in advance will work 
   or not. and it might not be that simple.
 * there are complicated solutions for using S3 and Cloudfront, and maybe Rackspace,
   but it seems difficult to pin down how it actually would work
 * step-by-step tutorial for what your’re suggesting would be very much appreciated—
   keeping in mind that the simplest thing is what most people want, don’t need 
   to screen images or do edits automatically (super cool – but the mere mention
   of API gives me an eye twitch)
 * regards
