I am setting up a site for a non-profit that would like to have a 'members' area where certain users can swap files for meetings, events, etc.

They essentially need a simple interface where they can upload/download files--one that is removed from the WordPress admin area. Some info:

  • They would be uploading mostly text documents, so I am not worried about a high-capacity solution. The server I have for the website would definitely be able to handle the load
  • There are about 30 members
  • A secretary would look after the creation/removal of members
  • It would be nice to be able to embed it into the site using some sort of plugin, but I am not against using a 3rd-party service either

The only solutions that are looking good so far are Dropbox Teams or Box.com Business, but they seem quite extreme for this organization's needs.

I also came across Wuala. I've never heard of it before, but the prices are much cheaper than the alternatives.

Does anybody have experience with this kind of problem? :)

Thanks a lot!

You can have a look on the following plugin for this purpose:

WordPress Download Monitor

I have found this plugin very useful for uploading/downloading files. This plugin will store files in the web server. This has also built in Download Page function with built in sorting, pagination, search feature and many more.

    Thank you so much. That is exactly what I was looking for. I also installed the Capability Manager plugin to create a role for some users so they could only upload/download files. This made my day :)
