A must have plugin for a multisite. If the multisite is used for a multilingual 
wordpress site where the media is the same for all blogs this plugin is a life saver:).
Many thanks for this useful plugin!

Just tried it out with WP 4.9.6 and it seems to work fine. Thanks!

The feature only is available while adding media to a post/page. I am unable to 
get it work with my Soliloquy Slider. I was also hoping to access other site media
from library.

Using it on my MU site, tweaked it slightly so it only pulls from one site that 
I want its media library shared with all others, but only that one. Gives my users
access to a media library I manage only.

### 󠀁[Looks promising, Does not work with multisite, shame](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looks-promising-does-not-work-with-multisite-shame/)󠁿

 [Mojo-jojo](https://profiles.wordpress.org/cjavier/) September 3, 2016

Great idea, implementation needs some work though, even though you can see the images
across the network of subsites, you can not insert media, only paste urls but referencing
other sites, Implementing a feature to “share across network” only individual images
would be ideal, since we don’t want to share every image, since they are own by 
different sites operators, but just some placeholders for newly created sites. Good
overall, does what it claims it does on the default mode, but not on multisite, 
at least v4.4.2. Thanks!
