doesnt work only paid version works

stop making things that you claim are free and then there’s nothing that works unless you pay.

Version 6 works really well

Version 5 worked well, but the uploading UI on the backend was a bit odd. Version 6 really is a nice improvement. Been using the plugin for a few years, easy to manage and a great way to organize shar
