Frontend File Explorer is a modern, Windows Explorer–inspired file manager for WordPress. It gives you a clean admin interface to organize and share files plus a responsive frontend explorer powered by a simple shortcode.
Use it to create download areas for courses, client file portals, or resource libraries — without relying on heavy external file management tools.
The plugin provides a seamless experience for both administrators and frontend users:
<ul>
<li>Explorer-style UI: Navigate with breadcrumbs, toolbar actions, pagination, and Material Icons.</li>
<li>Dedicated Directory: Files are stored in a secured <code>wp-content/uploads/downloads</code> directory.</li>
<li>Admin Management: Create folders, upload files, delete items, and download ZIPs directly from the admin dashboard.</li>
<li>Frontend Integration: Embed the explorer anywhere using the <code>[frontend_file_explorer]</code> shortcode.</li>
<li>AJAX-Powered: Fast, smooth navigation and pagination without page reloads.</li>
<li>Translation Ready: Fully localized with the <code>frontend-file-explorer</code> text domain.</li>
</ul>
How to use the Explorer:
<ul>
<li>
Admin Interface: 
Navigate to File Upload in your WordPress admin sidebar. From this dedicated dashboard, administrators can create nested folders, upload bulk files (featuring multi-select and drag-and-drop), import existing Media Library assets, delete items, and download entire directories as ZIP archives.
</li>
<li>
Frontend Shortcode: 
Embed the user-facing explorer interface on any Page, Post, or Custom Post Type using the following shortcode setup:
<pre><code>[frontend_file_explorer]
</code></pre>
(Renders the explorer starting at the root storage directory)
Advanced Shortcode Usage: 
You can explicitly define the starting folder path relative to the root <code>uploads/downloads</code> directory by using the <code>folder</code> attribute:
<pre><code>[frontend_file_explorer folder="/course-materials"]
[frontend_file_explorer folder="/clients/acme-corp"]
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Frontend Capabilities: Visitors browsing the frontend can view contents, click files to download them, and copy direct sharing links.</li>
<li>Security: Destructive or mutating actions (like file upload, folder creation, or deletion) remain strictly hidden and blocked from public visitors. They are only accessible to logged-in users who possess the WordPress <code>upload_files</code> capability.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Who is this plugin for?
<ul>
<li>Course creators who need a simple, branded downloads area.</li>
<li>Agencies and freelancers who share files with clients.</li>
<li>Site owners who want a lightweight, Explorer-like file manager in WordPress.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Data Privacy</h3>
When you use the built-in app to authenticate and link your Google Drive account, the Application collects the following information:
<ol>
<li>Your WordPress website URL.</li>
<li>A short-lived authorization code generated during the OAuth flow.</li>
</ol>
This data is collected only after you grant access via the Google OAuth consent screen. Upon consent, you’ll be redirected through the SoftLab BD server (<code>https://softlabbd.com/integrate-google-drive-oauth.php</code>), which then redirects you back to your site to complete the authorization. This intermediate redirect enables a simplified plugin setup without requiring you to create your own Google App or configure your own Authorized Redirect URI.
<a href="https://softlabbd.com/privacy-policy/" rel="nofollow ugc">SoftLab Privacy Policy</a>
Important: 
After authorization, all communications occur directly between your server and the cloud storage servers over encrypted channels. No data passes through or is stored on our servers, and we do not access or collect your files.
