This plugin allows users to manage their files and folders from the frontend of your site, without having to access the backend dashboard. In this guide, we’ll walk you through all of the features of the Frontend File Manager plugin and how you can use it to manage your files and folders.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”How To Create A Frontend Page:” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”24562″ img_size=”large”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Creating a frontend page with Frontend File Manager is simple. All you need to do is create a new page or post and paste this shortcode: [ffmwp]. This will render an awesome responsive UI to upload and manage files.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_btn title=”Download Now” style=”3d” shape=”square” color=”blue” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.paypal.com%2Fcgi-bin%2Fwebscr%3Fcmd%3D_s-xclick%26hosted_button_id%3DWV4L38V9D8H8Y|target:_blank”][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”Frontend View:” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]In the frontend view, there are a couple of buttons, like Upload Files and Create Directory, which allow members to upload files from their local PCs to your site and create directories and subdirectories. Each file shows as a thumbnail with a preview button and a delete button. The delete option can be disabled by the admin via settings. When a user clicks on the preview button, it displays the file details like title, description, and other meta data like file size and location.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”Adding Extra Fields with File:” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]If you need to attach extra metadata like text or number inputs, it can be created from File Manager > Fields menu, and these will be added against each file.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”Setting File Size and Types:” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]File type and size can be controlled via admin settings. We’ve also added the option to add restricted files as a security layer.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”Upload Limits by User:” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]There are two types of upload limits: Files Uploads Limit and Files Limit. Files Uploads Limit means the maximum number of files a user can select in a single upload. Files Limit means the total number of files a user can upload. If you want to allow members to upload a maximum of 10 files, it will disable the Upload File button once it reaches 10 files. Another setting is ‘Guest Upload’, which allows guest users to upload files without being a member of your site.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”Upload Limits by User Roles:” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]This is another strong feature that gives more flexibility to the admin to set file upload or size based on user roles. For example, if you want to set a per-role size quota, each user inside this role cannot upload files more than the allocated site. For example: ‘author|3mb’ means allowing each user in the author role to have a maximum of 3mb file size. Similarly, options available per role are:[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

• Max. Upload File Size: Set max file size for upload for each role per line, e.g.: author|3mb.
• Max. Files: Set the maximum number of files a user can upload for each role per line, e.g.: author|3.
• Default Directory by Role: Set the default directory for each role where the files will be uploaded. E.g., subscriber|Projects – here, the Projects directory will be created for subscribers, and files will be uploaded in this. Each Role per Line.
• Directory Create by Role: Enables users inside a role to create directories.

For example, a manager or teacher needs to share some files with his client or student. This add-on will enable one-to-one file sharing. These shared files can be downloaded by users, but they can’t share them with others or delete them. Large files can also be uploaded into user directories and then easily attached to the user under Users page in the Dashboard.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”AWS S3 Upload Add-on:” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]AWS S3 Upload add-on enables you to upload all files on Amazon Bucket.
