A media content management device includes one or more memory devices storing instructions, and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to perform steps of a method for providing management of media content. The device may receive media content from a data source and determine a set of media operations that can be performed by the device on a locally stored copy of the media content on the storage means or by a cloud storage system on a remotely stored copy. Based on whether the cloud storage system is reachable, a first media operation may be performed on the remotely stored copy of the media content or on the locally stored copy of the media content. The device may open a communication path with a user device and transmit a portion of the media content to the user device before uploading to the cloud storage system is complete.
