XQ Media Storage stores new attachments on Backblaze B2 and delivers them through an HTTPS CDN such as Bunny, reducing storage and media traffic on your server.
Existing attachments: Older full attachments in XenForo’s internal_data directory remain where they are. The migration tool moves supported public-data files, including attachments already managed by this add-on, thumbnails and avatars.
Features
Installation/upgrade, existing media and new B2/CDN uploads have been tested on XenForo 2.3.13. Actual VPS↔B2 migration transfers have passed simulated tests but have not been tested with a live provider.
Back up your database, media and protected configuration before testing migration. Keep the board disabled during migration and verify delivery before reopening it.
Privacy and requirements
Direct CDN links are accessible to anyone who obtains them, including PM and restricted-forum attachments. A link-sharing notice appears in PM forms. Deleting an origin file does not automatically purge cached CDN copies.
Requires PHP 8.2+, separately configured B2/CDN services and server access to create a private configuration directory. Provider charges and spending limits are managed separately.
Read the included readme.txt before setup. Feedback is welcome in the discussion thread.
Development note: Developed with AI assistance and reviewed and tested as described above. Live migration transfers remain unverified.
