Fileshelf at a glance

Fileshelf manages downloads in Joomla 6 with Joomla's own means: categories, tags, access levels,
fields and versions come from the core, not from a system of its own. Each download has exactly one file,
one main category and, if you like, further categories in which it appears as well.
  
  
The list of downloads: title, categories, version, access level and how often each file was
  downloaded.
What Fileshelf does for you
  
Store files protected. The files lie in a storage folder of their own, which
  Fileshelf locks against direct access and checks itself. Visitors only get a file through Fileshelf –
  with access check and counter.
  
Control access. Joomla access levels, a password per download or per category,
  publishing period.
  
Show them on the website. Menu items for categories, single downloads and the latest
  downloads, a module, shortcodes for articles and a button in the editor.
  
Let them be found. The site search (Smart Search) finds downloads by title,
  description, file name and tag.
  
Maintain. Tools reorder files, adopt files uploaded by FTP and check file details.
