uSync (Free Version) - Media Files Content Doesn't...
# help-with-umbraco

Versions: Umbraco 13.5.2 and uSync (free) 13.2.4 Scenario: I have 3 instances of our Umbraco App. In-network development, Azure Staging slot, and Azure Production slot. Issue: If I, or a user, creates a page, and the doc type has one ore more Media Pickers, whether a single picker, or a nested repeat of Media Pickers, uSync doesn't sync the media file (Ie., Image). It displays as trashed or missing on the instance uSync is used to import into after copying uSync files to the destination instance. I have read some things here and there regarding uSync and Media Pickers, but I'm not finding solid information on how to remedy this. I'm currently ditching the uSync package all together in favor of instructing content being done on the production site, so that we're not losing content/media.

Hi, yes uSync (core)doesn't copy files between the sites so it will setup all the database elements for the media etc but you need to copy the physical files. This is because uSync doesn't assume how you deploy or get stuff from a to b (it keeps it simpler, and let's you work how you want to). uSync.complete (and the publisher bit that it includes) does transfer media between servers (and other files if requested). This is much more of a deployment, push /pull system, it's not free 😞 but then it it doing a lot more in terms of working out just what needs to be copied (not just a blind copy of everything) and working with local, and azure storage and all of that. But if you stick with free as well as copying the uSync folder you should copy the media one too and everything should appear on the site
