WP File Download

Transform Your WordPress File Management

WordPress does a lot of things right, but managing files and downloads isn’t one of them. The default media library gets cluttered, lacks folder structure, and gives you zero control over who sees or downloads what. If you’ve ever tried running a resource center, client portal, or digital product shop on WordPress, you know this pain. That’s where WP Download steps in, offering the kind of organized, user-friendly file management.

If you’re tired of WordPress’s default limitations, or struggling with free plugins that don’t scale, WP File Download is the smart move. You get desktop-style file management, rock-solid permissions, cloud sync, and full WooCommerce compatibility in one plugin. Once you try it, you’ll wonder how you ever ran your site without it.

• Drag‑and‑drop file manager in admin: Upload, organize, and reorder files visually, right in your WordPress dashboard.
• Advanced file categories and themes: Choose from multiple layouts: Tree, Table, Preview, Accordion, and more with custom themes and icons.
• Custom icons with SVG builder: Design your own file icons or use built-in options for enhanced clarity.
• User access control: Restrict downloads, uploads, edits, or deletions per user or role, perfect for client portals or member-only content.
• File versioning: Automatic history tracking lets you restore older versions with a click.
• Full-text search engine: Quickly find documents (PDFs, PPTs, Word) using instant text indexing.
• Download stats & email alerts: Keep an eye on who’s grabbing files and get notified on downloads or updates.
• Bulk download: Select multiple files or entire categories and deliver them as a single ZIP.
• File upload forms: Allow users to submit files via frontend forms directly into specific categories.

Drag-and-Drop Simplicity, Desktop Power

What sets WP File Download apart is its ultra-intuitive drag-and-drop interface. Managing your files feels less like fighting with a clunky plugin and more like using a modern cloud drive. You can create unlimited categories, move files between folders, rename, bulk-upload, and reorder all visually, without a single line of code.

If you love what WOOBE Bulk Editor does for bulk-editing posts and WooCommerce products, you’ll find that same sense of control and clarity in WP File Download for all your digital assets.

Don’t want to mess with shortcodes? WP File Download plays perfectly with Elementor Pro, WPBakery, and other page builders. Drop beautiful, filterable download lists, upload forms, or category trees anywhere: on landing pages, resource hubs, client dashboards, and more.

Total Control – Permissions, Roles, and Access

The real beauty of WP File Download is in its permission system. Need to restrict downloads to paying customers or specific member roles? No problem. Setting up rules is clear and direct – choose who can view, upload, or edit files, per category or even per file. For membership or LMS sites, this means you can finally offer exclusive resources with true confidence. Want more granular control?

Pair WP File Download with Ultimate Membership Pro for a fully integrated access experience.

Cloud Sync and Remote Files

Juggling files across Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, or Amazon S3? WP File Download seamlessly syncs your site with all these cloud services. Push files from your WordPress dashboard to the cloud, or pull them down on demand. These are real bi-directional syncs, perfect for agencies, teams, any business that already relies on the cloud. For extra speed across your whole site, you can add WPRocket or Perfmatters  for front-end optimization.

No More Lost Files

As your download library grows, finding what you need gets tricky—unless you have full-text search. WP File Download indexes the actual content of PDFs, DOCs, and more, so your users can search for keywords inside documents, not just file names. This transforms your download section into a true resource hub, blowing past the limits of free tools like Simple Download Monitor or FileBird.

Version History and Bulk Actions

Ever uploaded the wrong file, or wished you could revert to a previous version? With WP File Download, every change is tracked. Restore older versions with a click, no risky FTP rollbacks or restore-from-backup drama. If you need to manage hundreds of files at once, bulk actions make it easy to upload, move, or delete entire collections in seconds.

Sell, Track, and Protect Digital Goods

If you sell digital products or want to gate downloads behind a purchase, WP File Download’s WooCommerce integration is a lifesaver. Link files directly to WooCommerce products, track every download, and restrict access to customers only. For even more sales power, pair with WooCommerce PDF Vouchers, WooCommerce Memberships, or the incredible WP All Import suite.
