I am exploring WP File Download as a potential solution for our website and would like to know if your plugin can support the following requirements:

User Access Based on User Levels:
We need to restrict access to certain files based on the user’s role or membership level in WordPress. Can your plugin provide this functionality?

File Preview Support:
We require the ability to preview a variety of files, such as .ppt, .doc, and other document formats, directly on the website. Does your plugin support file previews for these types of files?

File Editing from the Front End:
Ideally, we would like some users (based on roles or permissions) to be able to edit documents directly from the front end. Does your plugin support front-end file editing, or do you recommend any integrations for this functionality?

File Versioning:
We require file versioning to track and manage multiple versions of the same file. Does WP File Download have built-in support for version control, and how does it work in terms of uploading new versions while retaining older ones?

We are looking for a solution that seamlessly integrates these features. Could you please confirm if WP File Download is a good fit for our needs or suggest any additional features we may need to achieve this functionality?

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response.

Hi,

Thanks for contacting us here about this extension.

We understand the need to restrict access to certain files based on user roles or membership levels in WordPress.
Our plugin allows you to manage user permissions effectively. You can find more details on how to set this up below:

File Editing from the Front End:

Currently, editing files directly from the front end isn't supported. However, users can upload, preview, and download files seamlessly from the front end.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

File Versioning:
We require file versioning to track and manage multiple versions of the same file. Does WP File Download have built-in support for version control, and how does it work in terms of uploading new versions while retaining older ones?


Our plugin does provide file versioning, allowing you to keep track of multiple versions of the same file.
You can easily restore previous versions whenever needed.

If you have more questions about this feature, just let us know!

Cheers,

Thank you for the answer. What if we integrate with Google Drive using your plugin, can we edit files on Google Drive?
Also, can we remove or restore previous versions from the front end?
