We need Storage Option to offload WordPress video, audio, photos, & other uploads to a secondary storage.
Membership sites and Course websites can easily become storage intensive and the current plans you offer do not offer enough storage and are not a good solution for this. In my opinion the current Block Storage solution doesn't make much sense to me. I need to be able to offload video, pictures, audio, and other uploads to a secondary storage solution either hosted by Cloudways or other platforms. It would be nice if Cloudways had an option to purchase a secondary storage option then through a plugin made by you or a third party be able to offload the media to the secondary storage block or server. All of this should work with CDN.
SIMPLE POSSIBLE SOLUTION...
An easy solution to this would be to give the WORDPRESS MEDIA AND UPLOAD FOLDERS a separate storage of its own with a SYMLINK that allowed the main server to view the MEDIA / UPLOAD FOLDER (pictures, video, audio, uploads) as part of the primary file system but is actually located on a separate storage media. Make the Media / Upload Folder a Mounted Folder (secondary storage or network storage). This would allow us to increase the size of the WordPress media and upload folders as more storage is needed.

Hi Alfred. This plugin might be a great option for you. It enables you to offload your media to an Amazon S3 bucket (or other). Good luck! https://aff.deliciousbrains.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=21429&url=73
