File Manager Themes: 4 Themes Included

Dropfiles File Manager theme

Four themes are included in the plugin but there's not just themes! They change the way you make your files available to your users. The included themes are standard file listing, Google Drive like, Table, and Accordion file tree. The system is also extremely flexible because you can apply a theme per category of files if you want.

A Design That Fit Your Theme

Usually when you add an extension to your Joomla website, what follows is an arduous process to apply a design that fits your Joomla template. This won't be the case anymore as you can apply your colors with a color picker and display or hide the file info that you want. Furthermore, the extension comes with the possibility to create an override theme in one click.

Easiest File Manager Ever

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

Easiest File Manager Ever

Flexible and Advanced File Search Engine

Flexible and Advanced File Search Engine

Managing a massive amount of files goes with a powerful search engine. This is included in the plugin and in addition, you can generate multiple and custom search engines with filters like:

  • Full text search in documents (in word, pdf…) with auto-index of new documents on upload
  • Category of files filtering
  • File tag system displayed as checkbox or predictive search filters
  • Date of creation range filter
  • Date of update range filter
  • File preview in search results
  • File ordering by type, date, category on column title click

File Access Full Control (Joomla ACL)

When you manage files, you will always need to setup file 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 the file and define file management 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.

Import existing 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 are in Joomla.
