What it does
Many sites need to offer files to visitors: product manuals, reports, forms or paid digital goods. Handling these through the standard media library gets messy fast, with no real categories, no access rules and no clear way to present downloads. This plugin adds a dedicated file manager where you can create unlimited files and categories, then drag, drop, move, copy and delete them. Changes save instantly through AJAX, so the workflow feels close to managing folders on a desktop.
Once files are organized, you decide who can see and download them by WordPress user or user role. Files can come from Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or OneDrive Business, or from remote servers, so you are not limited to your own hosting. Visitors can find documents with a frontend full-text search, and downloads display using one of 5 themes or your own design. If you sell files, the WooCommerce integration handles payments, and built-in statistics track downloads and sales.
Best for
- Businesses publishing documents, manuals or forms for customers
- Shops selling digital files through WooCommerce
- Sites restricting file access to specific users or roles

Questions about WP File Download
