Overview
WordPress allow you to put uploads in year- and month-based folders. Custom Upload Dir is more flexible. You can construct paths from variables like post title, category, post author, post date and many more.
I created Custom Upload Dir ensure my file system is always mirroring the site structure. This ensures I can always find files manually when needed. It also simplifies backups and platform migrations.

Addressed to the author of the plugin :
Hello,
French, and occasional voluntary developer for associations, I discovered your plugin “custom upload dir” which I found very interesting.
Like me, many French people of my generation, (soon to be in their seventies) have limited use of English.
So I made a translation of the plugin which, for information, works very well with PHP 5.6.4 and WordPress 5.4 – en_FR
You will find attached the plugin with the translation.
