No BS Plugin, works perfectly
Perfect plugin, works as described.
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
