Copies files to IBM Object Storage on Bluemix as they are uploaded to the Media Library.

== Description ==

This plugin automatically copies images, videos, documents, and any other media added through WordPress' media uploader to Softlayer's implementation of [Openstack Swift](http://www.openstack.org/software/openstack-storage/). It then automatically replaces the URL to each media file with their respective Softlayer URL. Image thumbnails are also copied to Swift and delivered through Swift.

Uploading files *directly* to your Swift account is not currently supported by this plugin. They are uploaded to your application first, then copied to Swift. However, once they have been uploaded to Swift, they will be removed from the application. Files are served over https.

* This plugin has been written for the Openstack Swift API using Zendframework's [Swift library](https://github.com/zendframework/ZendService_OpenStack), but was originally a fork of
the [Amazon S3 and Cloudfront](https://wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-s3-and-cloudfront/) plugin written by Brad Touesnard. It is designed to work with Bluemix, and will not work outside of the Bluemix
environment without effort by the developer as it depends on services provided by Bluemix.
== Installation ==

This plugin is built in to the WordPress boilerplate on Bluemix. It should require no effort on your half to work properly.

You can access the settings page on the Object Storage option selection in the admin settings panel.

== Uninstallation ==

This plugin is designed to NOT be disabled. Disabling the plugin means that files will be stored on the applications local filesystem. Restarting your app could
result in losing all of the files you currently have saved that aren't uploaded to Object Storage. However, if you wish to disable this plugin, then remove it from wp-content/plugins/wp-bluemx-objectstorage.
