Hello
Here's what I'm considering: creating a private space with Microsoft Office files (Excel/Word), images, PDFs, and videos. The files should therefore not be indexed by search engines. Here are my questions, please:
1/ All users, regardless of who they are, can view all documents (therefore, there's no management by user category or user), but they must have a username and password to access this space. Is this managed directly in the extension, or do I have to create ACLs in Joomla, and is this easy?
2/ Currently, the files are in Dropbox. With your integration, an updated file will be automatically updated in Joomla? However, I don't want a user to be able to modify the files in Joomla and have them synchronized to Dropbox, unless they're an administrator. Is this possible?
3/ With Dropbox, the files are also uploaded to Joomla: are they therefore duplicates? Or is the hosting space used Dropbox?
4/ Do all documents open directly online, or do you have to download them to view them? The same goes for videos: do they have to be downloaded, or can they be viewed online via a player? If a player is available, is it seamless for large videos?
5/ I think a usage policy should be created: can it be accepted when creating a user account and have a record of the acceptance?
Thanks

Hi,
Sorry for the late response, delays in processing support are usually extended outside the business days
1/ Yes, user role restrictions for file management are built into the extension and don't require complex Joomla ACL setup.
Documentation: https://www.joomunited.com/joomla-documentation/dropfiles/280-dropfiles-parameters#toc-manage-personal-user-file-repository
2/ Dropbox files sync automatically to Joomla when updated, but users cannot edit files through Dropfiles - they're read-only,
which meets your administrator-only editing requirement.
3/ Files stay on Dropbox servers; we only index file information, so no duplicates are created on your hosting.
4/ Our Google Previewer-based system allows direct online viewing of documents and videos without downloads, even for large files.
5/ Usage policy acceptance during account creation isn't currently supported in Dropfiles.
Cheers,
