Upload files by category
In the category view, you can activate the possibility of frontend file upload. Then, your users can upload files directly while browsing a file category, on the frontend. The file upload possibility is controlled by a setting in each WordPress user role. Moreover, admin can generate a shortcode for file upload with a preselected category, also controlled by a user role limitation setting. Managed file download is easy, flexible and fast.
Control the file upload by WordPress user role
A user can upload files from frontend only if he's user role is allowed to. Also, following the user file access rights, the files uploaded will be published or will require to be approved by an admin after being uploaded. Note, it's also possible to allow file upload for public users (not connected) if, for example, you are on an intranet trusted website.

Restrict file category access with password
Additional access restriction is possible using a password per file category. This is similar to the WordPress password protection on posts, just edit a category to setup password, and it's done! Furthermore, the password protection can be combined with a user role access limitation.
File download limitation by count and delay
Have you ever needed to limit the file access for a certain amount of time? Or limit the number of time a file can be downloaded? This is now possible with WP File Download, you apply a certain delay or download count the customer will be able to download a file, by WordPress user role.
