Easy to setup, great feature. If more custom layout, and simple list view will be great.

Seriously? Zero support for shortcodes in the free version? Sad. Very very sad.
I’ve tested many dozens of plugins to specifically handle file/download management, some I’ve purchased the premium versions of after testing the free versions, many I’ve recommended to others, while many are strikingly similar some offer unique features or layouts that fit a specific need, so I have a number of them actively in use across hundreds of websites.
THIS is the first one I’ve tested that doesn’t offer the ability to use a shortcode – the most basic of tasks – into a page/post in the free version. If a plugin handles the basics very well, then upgrading to a premium version is something I am willing to do to get premium features. Using a shortcode is not a “premium” feature.
I deleted this waste-of-space-here-in-the-repository plugin and will never, ever recommend this one to anyone.

This plugin is just perfect for creating a file directory in wordpress. I love all of the functions and how easy it to place a shortcode to each library where you want it. I bought the pro lifetime package and it was worth it.

I really like this plugin for file sharing. It has great options and works well. The front end uploader lets users send me files, and I can edit/review them on the back end before presenting them.

No drag and drop is an issue for upload. But the real problem is the lack of file security. The files are just open to the world, there is no file or directory level permissions to block public access!

I really love this plugin. It’s organized in a way that makes sense and is easy to use. Always reliable and consistent for users. Thanks for your excellent work.

I searched on WordPress for plugins that would help me manage file sharing between my customers and me, and honestly, this is the most complete plugin on WordPress. You can easily give access to a file just for specific users, and they can load files on their personal area. Everything was very flexible and easy.
Plus, five stars also to the support team. I’ve been in contact with Anssi asking for some help during the plugin configuration and he helped me a lot. The support service is one of the things that make the difference during your experience, and this was the best. Thank you very much for all your availability.

<p>I have been successfully using Shared Files on my webpages. However, when my subscription term expired, all the links in my existing webpages were replaced by This feature is available in the Pro version. I find it unacceptable that my website should be kept on a leash and subject to a yearly blackmail. The existing functions should not be affected by my decision to renew the subscription. I will definitely look for an alternative.<br /><br />However this problem was happily solved, as can be seen by our correspondence below and I can therefore see no negative point with this plugin.</p>

We needed a way that photo subjects could:
Shared Files has saved us SO much work.
And the developer is incredibly responsive.
Even though we are just on a one month trial, he responded to a request fast, and even implemented a change in two days, so that we could present this system to a huge client of ours.
If you are a photographer, check this plug-in out.

This is a very good plugin. It works as advertised.
The plugin author is very helpful and prompt. I am hopeful more people will try this plugin and get the pro version. It really does work well.
I have not had any problems. The main thing is to make sure you setup your options for WordPress in the settings if you get page not found errors.
The full page protection and then full page reload after authentication gets around incompatibilities with the Divi theme builder.
If your using page caching then you need to remember to exclude the Passtester cookie and test that everything is working as you intend it to work.

Some of the most used features…Frontend file upload
I guess the critical part simply forgotten to mention is this is only in the paid version.. Same goes for the misleading screenshots, all containing paid features. A big waste of time.
The pros of this plugin or shall I say “free version” is it does the job of being a decent front end file download manager, you would just need to either code the rest to suit your needs or find a plugin to work with this or buy the full version which is 99$ or pay a monthly subscription fee (which is way too much).

This plugin does exactly what it promises. I mainly needed a simple file sharing option so that downloadable files didn’t reflect “wp-content/uploads…” in the links. I also wanted one place to store those file downloads so I don’t have to go hunting through my Media Library.
The settings and File management pages are cleanly laid out and easy to navigate. You can define extensions and custom icons to files as well, which is handy.
There are Pro features like the ability to create categories, and as my site scales I can see the need for that.

This plugin has been easy to get started with right out of the box. It has a good amount of features in the free version, but I have upgraded to pro because it’s affordable and unlocks some additional valuable features. A big plus for me has been the support. The author has been responsive and open to my feedback and requests via email. Thank you!

I spent a few hours evaluating all the shared files plugins I could find and Shared Files is easily the most full-featured and easy to use.
The pro version is also reasonably priced.
Dev is responsive.

After dozens of plug-ins tested, shared files is the only plug-in meets my needs. It has beautiful display interface, search and description functions. The new preview function greatly facilitates the users of my website. More importantly, the author updates quickly, and many problems and suggestions can be solved in time. I believe the plug-in will be more and more popular.

I tried everything. All plugins deactivated, switched to twentytwenty theme, still no matter where I insert the simplest shortcode such as [shared_files], nothing appears on my screen. If I insert the uploaded file shortcode then I finally see something: “This feature is available in the Pro version.” Is this a joke? How can someone test this plugin? I have no caching activated. Not working at all. I wanted to test it before I ‘d buy it. Is it just me?
Also the documentation lacks important info: The shortcodes are nowhere mentioned in backend. There is nowhere any info about how to insert them to a page. Someone has to visit your plugin page in order to search and find them.
My PhP 7.2 / WordPress 5.5.1
This is clearly not a free plugin since… yes, you can download it. Yes, you can activate it, you can upload files, but you can’t see them anywhere in any page.

I was one of the first users of this fantastic plugin, simple and light. I believed it so much that I completely translated it into Italian. Congratulations to the author.
