 * I am using another folder which I have set in the config file for uploads /wp-
   content/media
 * But filebase ignores this setting and creates an wpt-content/uploads/filebase
   folder in my install.
 * Any setting available so that filebase too will use my /media folder.
 * ————–Also
 * I just found your plugin. At this time I am using S3FS fuse to mount a bucket
   to my /media folder. I assume the filebase sync should work fine with this as
   though I had used FTP instead of added photos to my bucket which then appear 
   in the folder.
 * I have yet to buy the Pro version but would it be better to use your code to 
   link my bucket than S3FS?

 * Found a setting so answered by own question?
 * set upload path to wp-content/media
 * But unfortunately sync is not finding any of the files already in that folder
   and adding them to the db.
 * just keeps saying “Nothing changed!”
 * Clicked “complete file sync” same thing
 * added a photo to media folder.
 * Clicked “complete file sync” still “Nothing changed!”
 * Any thoughts as to why?
