Easy File Upload & Approval for WordPress lets users effortlessly upload and submit files for review through a clean and simple drag & drop file upload interface. Designed for websites that require file submissions, it gives site owners a powerful way to review and manage uploaded files with full control over approvals, rejections, and deletions.
Designed for job applications, contests, print shops, educators, agencies, and service providers—any platform that needs a simple yet powerful file submission and approval workflow.
With customizable upload settings, flexible role permissions, and built-in email notifications, this plugin streamlines how files are received and reviewed — ensuring a smooth experience for both users and administrators.
