 * If I change between Digital Ocean and Amazon Cloud Storage. What are the steps
   I need to do? Both services rename the media files to long, complex, unique filenames
   and I’m not able to download the folder and upload it directly to Amazon.
 * Is there a way to move the media files on Digital Ocean back to my server, enable
   the new storage service (Amazon), and then move the files from my server back
   to the new storage container with Offload media?

 * Hi [@jason_hayes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jason_hayes/),
 * WP Offload Media has tools for this use case.
 * [https://deliciousbrains.com/wp-offload-media/doc/how-to-change-storage-provider/](https://deliciousbrains.com/wp-offload-media/doc/how-to-change-storage-provider/)
 * The above doc needs updating for the much improved UI in v3, but the basic idea
   is still the same.
