The moment you activate the plugin, Filevue automatically creates and configures your dedicated portal page (`/portal/`) — ready to use immediately without coding, shortcode tweaking, or complex setup. Designed specifically for small businesses, freelancers, agencies, and non-technical teams, Filevue lets you provide each client with their own private login to view, download, and acknowledge documents, upload files, and update account details — while keeping them completely separate from your WordPress admin dashboard. All client-facing screens adopt your site’s branding automatically, keeping your client experience clean, professional, and white-labeled. **Watch the full overview** — discover how Filevue sets up a professional, private client portal on your WordPress site in minutes. * 🌐 **Official Website:** [https://filevue.app](https://filevue.app) * 📚 **Documentation:** [https://filevue.app/docs/](https://filevue.app/docs/) * ▶️ **YouTube Channel:** [https://www.youtube.com/@Filevue](https://www.youtube.com/@Filevue) * 🛟 **Support Portal:** [https://www.filevue.app/support/](https://www.filevue.app/support/) * 💬 **Community Forum:** [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/filevue/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/filevue/) #### Why Choose Filevue? * **Zero-Configuration Automatic Setup:** Installs and configures itself instantly upon activation — no coding, page building, or technical knowledge required. * **Dedicated Client Portals:** Each client gets a private space accessible only with their credentials. * **Organized File Management:** Organize documents by client and project using custom folders, colors, and SVG icons. * **Cross-Client Project Sharing:** Share projects between clients in strict read- only mode without duplicating files. * **Document Acknowledgment:** Track when clients or team members review and acknowledge essential documents. * **Client Self-Service:** Allow clients to upload files, manage their contact information, and change passwords directly from the portal. * **Scoped Team & Staff Roles:** Delegate access to Portal Managers, Portal Contributors, or staff assigned to specific projects. * **Seamless Media & Data Previews:** Preview PDFs, images, and MP4 videos directly in the browser, plus attach editable data sheets with Excel export. * **Instant Notifications:** Keep clients and administrators informed with branded email notifications and instant Telegram alerts. * **100% Self-Hosted & Private:** All uploaded files are stored directly on your WordPress hosting server — never on third-party cloud apps, SaaS servers, or external storage. * **Built with Security in Mind:** Sensitive credentials and configurations are stored securely, upload directories are protected against direct browsing, and all actions use strict WordPress verification. #### Free vs. Pro Features For a complete feature comparison between Filevue Free and Filevue Pro, visit: [https://filevue.app/#pricing](https://filevue.app/#pricing) #### Quickstart Usage **Automatic Out-of-the-Box Setup:** The moment you activate Filevue, it automatically creates and publishes a fully functional client portal page at `/portal/`. You do not need to write code or configure shortcodes — simply create your first client in the WordPress admin and share their credentials. **Optional Custom Placement:** If you prefer to embed the portal on a custom page or template instead, add the shortcode: ``` [client_files] ``` _(Legacy shortcodes `[filevue\_client\_files]` and `[scp\_client\_files]` remain supported for backwards compatibility)._ #### Key Capabilities **Client & Project Management** * Create client accounts with auto-generated IDs and secure passwords. * Organize work across multiple projects per client with drag- and-drop sorting. * Instantly preview the portal as any client with one click from the admin. * Share projects across clients with enforced read-only permissions. **File Management & Previews** * Drag-and-drop file uploads from the admin dashboard or client portal. * Support for PDFs, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images (PNG, JPG, GIF), ZIP, and MP4 video. * In-browser preview for documents, images, and streaming video playback. * Create custom folders with colored accents and tailored icons.* Attach editable spreadsheet data sheets to folders with Excel export. **Collaboration & Team Access** * **Portal Contributor:** Manage clients and upload documents without configuration or delete permissions. * **Portal Manager:** Full management over clients, files, and team settings. * **Staff Portal:** Dedicated login tab for staff to view and acknowledge documents only for their assigned projects. **Automated Communications** * Send branded credential emails on account creation.* Automatic alerts sent to clients when new files are added to their portal. * Built- in SMTP configuration with one-click presets for popular mail providers. * Real- time Telegram alerts for portal activity (Pro). #### Security by Design Filevue is engineered with multiple security layers: * All uploaded files remain 100% on your own WordPress hosting server (`wp-content/uploads/client-files/`) — no third-party cloud apps, external APIs, or SaaS servers touch your files. * Client passwords and sensitive credentials are encrypted and stored in a secure format.* Client upload directories are protected against unauthorized direct web access. * Every download, upload, and acknowledgment action is verified using WordPress nonces and strict path validation. * Client sessions are isolated, preventing cross-client file enumeration or unauthorized access. #### Multilingual Support Filevue includes translations for: English, Arabic, Chinese (Simplified), Dutch, French, German, Hindi, Romanian, Russian, and Spanish. ## Kuvankaappaukset [⌊Admin dashboard with stats, quick actions, and step-by-step guide.⌉⌊Admin dashboard with stats, quick actions, and step-by-step guide.⌉[ Admin dashboard with stats, quick actions, and step-by-step guide.

In your WordPress admin, navigate to **Plugins > Add New**. 2. Search for **Filevue** and click **Install Now**, then **Activate**. 3. Open **Filevue** in your WordPress sidebar to create your first client and upload documents. 4. Visit **Filevue > SMTP Settings** to configure your email delivery for credentials and alerts. 5. Clients can log in immediately at `your-site.com/portal/` using their Client ID and password. ## UKK ### Where are uploaded files stored? All uploaded files are stored directly on your own WordPress hosting server inside your site’s uploads directory (`wp-content/uploads/client-files/`). Filevue does not upload or sync your files with any third-party app, external cloud provider, or SaaS storage service — giving you full ownership, privacy, and control over your business assets. ### Where do clients log in? Filevue automatically creates a portal page at `/portal/` on activation. You can also place the `[client_files]` shortcode on any page of your choice. ### Can clients see each other’s files? No. Each client has an isolated portal session and can only access documents explicitly uploaded to their account or shared with them. ### How does project sharing work? An administrator can share a project from one client with one or more other clients. The target clients see the project and its files in their portal in **read-only mode** (uploads, deletions, and acknowledgments on shared files are disabled). ### Can clients upload their own files? Yes. Clients can upload files directly into their assigned folders from the portal. Administrators can toggle upload permissions per project or client. ### How does document acknowledgment work? When document acknowledgment is enabled, clients or staff can click an acknowledgment button inside the document preview modal. The system records who acknowledged the document along with a timestamp. ### Can I customize the portal appearance? Yes. Basic button and accent colors can be adjusted in **Filevue > Settings**. For comprehensive white-label styling, custom typography, custom CSS, and email branding, upgrade to **Filevue Pro**. ### What happens to data upon plugin removal? By default, Filevue preserves your data during updates and deactivation. If you wish to remove all files and records on deletion, enable the **Delete data on uninstall** option in Filevue settings before deleting the plugin. ### What should I do if I encounter an HTTP 406 (Not Acceptable) error? HTTP 406 responses are triggered by hosting Web Application Firewalls (such as ModSecurity) inspecting URL requests. Filevue automatically transliterates uploaded filenames and handles credentials safely via POST bodies. If your hosting firewall still flags legitimate requests, contact your hosting provider to whitelist the triggered rule or add an exception for `/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php` and `/wp-admin/admin-post.php`. ## Arvostelut ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e6d282cb0edecc3e3e68cc5f0a38911aa7a64211684746a6551a31ea4887ba65? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent plugin and outstanding support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-plugin-and-outstanding-support-41/)󠁿 [christiansbg](https://profiles.wordpress.org/christiansbg/) 3.9.2026 1 reply FileVue is a very useful and well-designed client portal solution. We use it for securely providing documents to our clients and it fits our needs very well. What impressed me most was the support.

After testing many client portal solutions for WordPress, FileVue is by far the closest to what we were looking for. It provides a clean and professional way to manage client documents, invoices, contracts, and private files without the complexity of larger CRM systems. What impressed me the most was not only the plugin itself, but the developer behind it. During our implementation, I encountered several issues and feature requests. Lucian responded quickly, investigated every case, released fixes, improved existing functionality, and even implemented new features based on real-world feedback. It is incredibly rare to find this level of support and dedication. The Pro version adds powerful customization options that allow us to create a branded client experience, which is exactly what we needed for our business. You can clearly see that this plugin is actively developed and that the developer genuinely cares about his users and product. If you need a client portal for WordPress, document sharing, invoices, contracts, or secure client access, I highly recommend FileVue. Thank you, Lucian, for all your hard work and support. We are looking forward to using FileVue with our clients and seeing how the plugin continues to evolve. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/970ee08749e714c89c0a1bd570933a7a9d75c9cd3846c8f4d889723d0e499c75? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Stable and useful, looking forward to more features](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stable-and-useful-looking-forward-to-more-features/)󠁿 [extrano](https://profiles.wordpress.org/extrano/) 5.5.2026 1 reply Solid plugin with a useful core feature set that works reliably and does what it promises. Setup is straightforward and the overall experience feels stable. For the future, it would be great to see it become more feature-rich and continue evolving based on user suggestions. With active development and attention to feedback, this plugin has strong potential to grow into an even more powerful tool. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d406e36b6ba854510c2ba519fd7fd2d6f5ef7b543189a20e327955371e454960? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[A must have](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-must-have-552/)󠁿 [scanteq](https://profiles.wordpress.org/scanteq/) 16.4.2026 1 reply I recently discoved this plugin and it does exactly what it says. In the past to achieve this, you would have to make use of multiple plugins, from the login page to creating pasword pretected pages and finally the actual file viewer for uploaded documents. This plugin combines all this into one easy step. Create a client id, upload relevant documents and your set. You can even email the login credetials to the client for save keeping. Oh and don't forget that the client receives an email every time new documents are uploaded. No more time wasted to inform clients that new documents have been uploaded.
