Took me a while to find this one! 😃 I knew I’m not the only one who doesn’t like to deal with Dropbox and GDrive links and just wanted to have a simple solution to generate and manage my own download-links in a safe & secure way to provide clients with their file.

I love the way this plugin works. I'm using it with Oxygen builder and seems to not be able to record the download count for some reason, but just love all the functions and how it works. Please keep up the development!

I installed this one after a local test. My old downloadmanager was giving me some problems in optimizing my website, this one doen't. Besides that this pluging has a great workflow, I had it filled and installed in no time, very well thought interface. In short, I'm very happy with this solid plugin. It deserves more downloads.
