Filr – Secure document library

Filr – the secure document library

Create and manage secure document and file libraries has never been easier.

Filr creates protected areas on your file system and let you easily upload, manage and display documents files on your website.

You can decide if you want to share a unique direct download link to a document library or display a complete library of docs and files on your website.

Shortcode

Filr includes a shortcode to output a document and file library with a search, filters and a pagination.

Use the shortcode: [filr library="library-a"] and show a list of your documents and files.

Metadata

Easily display the name, the latest modification date, file type and download link in your library.

Security

Check the security status within the settings and choose between different settings.

Filr includes a small status tool to show you if your server is missing any requirements for Filr to work.

Customizable

Reorder the columns, modify colors, texts and include or exclude specific rows from your library shortcode.

You can also set an alternative text for empty libraries to give your users further explanations.

Auto cleaner

To prevent your filesystem for any clutter, Filr has a built-in file cleaner.

It takes care that no unecessary files are left on your filesystem.
You never need to open your FTP tool again.
