Description
The user files plugin allows you to add upload files for a specific user to download or view. The file upload is limited to the post max of your server. Files are uploaded to a user and can be accesses via an access page, dashboard widget, or both. The user files options page will allow you to turn on page menu and dashboard widget. Other options to allow user to delete their files and add to them. Also adds a file manager page to view all files and which user they belong to. You can delete files individually or delete the users folder.
Files can have icons and category, both are customizable. Users and admins can search file names or parts and admins can filter files by category and/or by user.

FAQ
- I have just upgraded to the latest version and now my menu items are gone
-
The latest upgrade implemented the custom capability manage_userfiles_settings and manage_userfiles. The manage_userfiles_settings will allow access to the File manager options in the settings menu and the manage_userfiles will create the userfiles admin menu options.
- Can User File Admins manage all users filefrom the front end in a page?
-
No, there is no in-page option for file management for admins, only users. We have just released a new commercial addon called Front end admin however that will allow you to do this. It currently features multi-file upload for admin and users.
