Hi @atdcloud Anthony,

Thank you for the quick follow-up and for clarifying the current scope.

I believe the desired behavior could be achieved nicely by adding a new storage/sync option in the “Media Library Sync Settings > Storage” section.Currently the options are:

– Cloudinary and WordPress

– Cloudinary and WordPress (low resolution)

– Cloudinary only (removes everything locally)

A new hybrid option such as “Cloudinary delivery + keep original locally only” (or similar wording) would be a valuable addition:

– Keep only the original full-size file on the server (for backup/archive/full-res access)

– Serve all sizes — including variants and the original — optimized via Cloudinary’s CDN

This would offer an ideal balance: secure local original backup without wasting space on variants, while fully utilizing Cloudinary’s optimization and delivery capabilities. It would be particularly helpful for users who value data sovereignty or long-term archiving.

If this hasn’t been passed to the development team yet, could you kindly forward the suggestion? I’m hopeful that a solution like this could be considered in a future update.

Thank you again for your support and responsiveness!
