Dropfiles, best in class file download manager for Joomla

When you manage files, you may have to setup download access for users, and it's always complex to do so. In Dropfiles, we've used Joomla native ACL in a smart way. Manage file visibility with a single click from the category or from a single download. For the document management, define allowed actions rules based on actions (who is allowed to update, delete, edit, edit own files or even download it). Furthermore, it's possible to restrict the access to a file or a file category to a selection of Joomla users.

We mean it - it's straightforward. It's essentially like managing documents on your desktop file browser. For example, you can change file ordering, change levels of file categories, move, copy with drag'n drop. And everything is saved with AJAX - on the fly. Adding new downloads? Just drag'n drop one or multiple files.

If you already have files on your server or if it's faster for you to send files through FTP, the file importer is for you. Select a file category on the left, make a file selection on the right and click on the import button, done! your files available for download in Joomla.

Updating and restoring files has never been so easy. You can update (or replace) an existing file with one click while you keep a backup of the old file version (document versioning). Of course the old version can be restored in one click too. Furthermore, the plugin offers multicategories, it's possible to upload one file and add it to several files categories.
