Grupo ABCD de Jornais

SO helpful for a photographer to deliver images privately

We needed a way that photo subjects could: — find their photo via search — have passworded pages — not see anyone else’s photo (so a group gallery was out) — upload and share photos in bulk (not creating a bunch of galleries manually) — easy to implement on our WP site Shared Files has save us SO much work. And the developer is incredibly responsive. Even though we are just on a one month trial, he responded to a request fast, and even implemented a change in two days, so that we could present this system to a huge client of ours. If you are a photographer, check this plug-in out.

Alan Gautham

Lots of features

I was able to easily setup and start using. I have had great response to my questions and requests.

Justin Broughton

Useful and excellent support

I finally gave up on WP Download Manager after their updates regularly broke my site. Looking for a simple, robust replacement I settled on Shared Files. So far, so good. I had one issue where the key wasn’t accepted and the site downgraded from Pro to the free version silently, but this was resolved in minutes by support. They have been quick, friendly and responsive. Highly recommended so far.
