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:

Date of update range filter
File preview in search results
File ordering by type, date, category on column title click

File Access Full Control

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.

Frontend File Manager

Dropfiles got dedicated features for the frontend file management. You can setup a dedicated menu to manage files from frontend that respects the user access and add a predefined upload form. Plus you got a frontend dedicated template for a comfortable file management

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.

One click update and file versioning

Our Joomla file manager has got amazing features for final users. You can update (or replace) an existing file in one click while you keep a backup of the old file version. Of course the old version can be restored in one click too.
