## Description

Media Bridge for Etch provides bidirectional synchronization between Etch Collections
and one selected client-side media folder provider.

To update the plugin settings, open Media > Media Bridge in the WordPress admin.
The settings are located under the Media tab, not the Settings menu.

Initial providers:

 * Wicked Folders
 * HappyFiles

Features include folder creation, rename and movement synchronization; attachment
assignment synchronization; provider-specific ordering; optional deletion synchronization;
fixed or most-recent conflict authority; reconciliation; and a 200-entry sync history.

Etch supports two folder levels. Deeper folders in the selected client-side provider
remain untouched. Media assigned below level two is represented in Etch by its nearest
supported ancestor.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate Etch.
 2. Install and activate Wicked Folders or HappyFiles.
 3. Install and activate Media Bridge for Etch.
 4. Open Media > Media Bridge.
 5. Select the client-side provider and save.
 6. Run reconciliation once before relying on automatic synchronization.
