Great Support

I initially had a few bumps along the way, which turned out to be caused by something other than the plugin. I kept going back to support for answers even to the point I was afraid they would stop responding. But they stuck with me until I verified that everything was and is working perfectly. Would buy it again. Great Job .

Christine Graves

The solution we needed

This tool is very flexible, with the ability to customize the upload and display of files housed outside of the WP media library. The numerous shortcodes have made it easy to achieve our desired solution of a shared file repository available only to logged-in group members (after some trial and error). A fair price to pay for the PRO upgrades.

Dan Armstrong

Great support

Batch upload files is Perfect for my site. Very useful.

Ping Isaac

Easy to use and good organizational skills

It is a easy to use plug-in, well integrated in the editing windows of posts or pages WP. You can categorize your documents for better findability.

Grupo ABCD de Jornais

SO helpful for a photographer to deliver images privately

We needed a way that photo subjects could: — find their photo via search — have passworded pages — not see anyone else’s photo (so a group gallery was out) — upload and share photos in bulk (not creating a bunch of galleries manually) — easy to implement on our WP site Shared Files has save 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.

Ken Huth

Really enjoy using it. Great support from the author.

Alan Gautham

Lots of features

I was able to easily setup and start using. I have had great response to my questions and requests.

Justin Broughton

Useful and excellent support

I finally gave up on WP Download Manager after their updates regularly broke my site. Looking for a simple, robust replacement I settled on Shared Files. So far, so good. I had one issue where the key wasn’t accepted and the site downgraded from Pro to the free version silently, but this was resolved in minutes by support. They have been quick, friendly and responsive. Highly recommended so far.
