<p>Content Sentinel is a powerful WordPress plugin that enables secure, time-limited access to files stored in AWS S3 or S3-compatible storage providers (like Wasabi, DigitalOcean Spaces, and Backblaze B2). Perfect for protecting premium content, course materials, digital products, and media files.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Secure File Delivery</strong>: Generate presigned URLs that expire automatically, ensuring your files remain protected</li>
<li><strong>S3 Browser</strong>: Browse your S3 bucket directly from WordPress admin (Pro feature)</li>
<li><strong>S3 Compatible</strong>: Works with AWS S3, Wasabi, DigitalOcean Spaces, Backblaze B2, and other S3-compatible providers</li>
<li><strong>Clean URLs</strong>: Use shortcodes to generate clean, user-friendly download links instead of long presigned URLs</li>
<li><strong>No AWS SDK Required</strong>: Pure PHP implementation – no external dependencies</li>
<li><strong>Easy Setup</strong>: One-click AWS CloudFormation setup or manual configuration</li>
<li><strong>Flexible Delivery Modes</strong>: Force download or stream/play in browser (Pro feature)</li>

<h4>How It Works</h4>
