Easy to use but powerful file mangement
by reinhardwallner·1 year ago·1 reply
The plugin offers very simple up- and downloading possibilities and great possibilities to configure its usage. Installation and configuration is simple, usage especially on frontend formulas self explaining.
One of the best plugins for a website

Easy to use and it’s the best tool to use for sharing files. The free version is great and the paid version is worth getting for the multiple file capabilities.
Feature-rich, but not completely secure
by Martin Sauter·1 year ago
This plugin makes building a site for sharing documents easy. It offers a comprehensive set of features and options. Many of these are only availble in paid versions, but the free version is still useful. However, files are accessible for anonymous website visitors if they happen to know the full URL, so the files are not completely secure.
