Media sync

Media folders, items and binary blobs across environments.

What ships

Media folder tree.

Media items with full property data.

The underlying binary blob for every Image, File and Vector item.

Blobs are uploaded, not copy-pasted

When a media item is imported, DoubleSync uploads the blob to the target's media filesystem and lets Umbraco process it the way it would if an editor had just uploaded the file. So crops, focal points, and `umbracoFile.src` end up populated correctly on the target.

Media inside merged properties

When you apply a merged property that embeds media (rich text, blocks, multi-URL pickers), the cross-environment media references are rewritten to point at the freshly imported targets in the same operation.

Media-delete propagation

Media items removed from the source are flagged in the diff but NOT auto-deleted on the target. Use the dashboard to remove them by hand. Full auto-propagation of media deletes is on the roadmap and will be opt-in.
