Users have had mixed experiences with this WordPress plugin. They appreciate its capability to change WordPress's media storage to Google Storage, suggesting that, when it works, it might be helpful for external storage solutions. However, numerous users have encountered significant issues, such as compatibility problems requiring PHP versions less than 7.1 for activation and complications with other extensions and CDNs like Cloudflare. Instructions are deemed poor, with users struggling to configure API and JSON files. Additionally, the plugin can interfere with WooCommerce product export functionality by returning empty CSV files unless deactivated. Overall, it's considered problematic and challenging to install and integrate smoothly.

I came across a major glitch when trying to export products from Woocommerce. The export returns an empty csv file (empty except for the header rows) unless I deactivate this plugin.

it works, but with major problems.
by default, it changes the media storage of WP to google storage, but after this plugin is installed, user cannot install any other extensions, because it will try to install into gs://xxx

Google…you should not do that!
poor insturction, not working either way API or Json file, maybe as I am under cloudflare? don’t know, what about the compatibility with other cdn plugins?

Simply it isn’t activated on PHP7.2 so you HAVE TO use PHP < 7.1 in order to activate and use it.
