If you find a security vulnerability, please reach out to our support team directly via our official website contact form so we can patch it immediately before public disclosure. ### What happens to the WordPress Media Library? Simple File Vault completely bypasses the standard WordPress Media Library. Files are stored in an isolated, secure directory structure. This keeps your regular Media Library clean and ensures sensitive client documents are never mixed with public website images or accidentally exposed. ### Can I use the plugin to share files? Absolutely. That is its primary purpose! Simple File Vault allows you to create secure client portals, document drop-boxes, and file-sharing directories directly on your own WordPress website, avoiding third-party services like Dropbox or Google Drive. ### Do I have to pay for using the plugin? The core Simple File Vault plugin is 100% free and always will be. We also offer a premium „Pro“ version that adds advanced capabilities like subfolder support, unicode search, role-based security walls, and individualized client folders. ### Do you offer support? Yes! We provide community support for the free version on the WordPress.org forums. Customers using Simple File Vault Pro receive priority email support. ### Does Simple File Vault work with some other plugin? Yes. Because it utilizes standard WordPress shortcodes (`[sfvlt_safe_file_vault]`) and Gutenberg blocks, it integrates perfectly with most page builders (Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder) and membership plugins. ### Is this a download manager, file sharing plugin, media library or what? It is primarily a **Secure File Sharing and Client Portal plugin**. While it has download management capabilities, its core focus is providing a safe, isolated vault for two-way document exchange between you and your clients. ### Can the visitors or logged in users upload files? Yes! You can place the frontend upload form on any page. By default, anyone who can access that page can upload. If you want to restrict uploads to logged-in users only, you can simply place the shortcode on a password-protected page, or use Simple File Vault Pro to enforce role-based upload restrictions. ### Can I use FTP to upload files? Yes! If you need to bulk upload gigabytes of files, you can upload them directly via FTP/SFTP to the vault directories. The Pro version includes a dedicated „Auto- Scan FTP Uploads / Purge Metadata“ sync tool in the dashboard to instantly register manually uploaded files. ### Can I use the plugin only as a file manager in the WordPress admin area? Yes, you can manage all files entirely from the WordPress backend Safe File Vault Dashboard without ever publishing the frontend shortcode. ### Who can download the files? In the free version, anyone with the direct secure link (or access to the page where the shortcode is embedded) can download files. If you need strict access control, Simple File Vault Pro allows you to lock folders to specific WordPress user roles or create private, individualized client vaults. ## Rezensionen Zu diesem Plugin liegen noch keine Rezensionen vor. ## Mitwirkende und Entwickler „Simple File Vault“ ist Open-Source-Software.
