Personal Folders

are an advanced feature built on the Dynamic Folders functionality, but tailored to link folders specifically with individual users. This is achieved by using user-specific data (such as their username or email) to dynamically create and assign a folder to each user.

For example, user X is linked to folder X, and user Y is linked to folder Y, ensuring that each user has secure, personalized access to their own documents. This is accomplished using the Dynamic Folders feature, which can be configured in different modes depending on your needs (manual or automatic).

For more information, see Dynamic Folders in this documentation.

User handling

The plugin integrates seamlessly with the default WordPress user system, handling user logins and passwords, making it easy to associate WordPress users with their cloud-stored personal folders. This integration simplifies the management of user access to specific files, ensuring that each user can only access their own folder, enhancing both security and organization.

Practical Use Case Examples

1. Photographers Sharing Wedding Galleries Simplify the process of sharing photos with your clients! As a photographer, you can assign a private folder to each client, prefilled with their wedding, portrait, or event gallery. Clients can securely preview, download, or even order prints directly from their personal folder without accessing anyone else’s content.

2. Law Firms Managing Client Documents Streamline client communication by providing each client with a secure, private folder for legal documents. Clients can upload signed agreements, access case files, and view billing statements in their designated folder, ensuring confidentiality and easy organization for both the law firm and the client.

3. Product Distributors Sharing Information with Vendors Keep your vendors informed and up-to-date by assigning each one a private folder containing product catalogs, pricing sheets, marketing materials, and order forms. Vendors can easily access the latest resources they need, upload orders, or manage files securely, creating a seamless distribution workflow.
