CM Download Manager File Repository and Document Management
CM Downloads Manager is a superb WordPress file sharing plugin that allows you to create a directory where users can upload and download various types of files, such as images, music files, videos and software.
Each file uploaded to the directory generates a unique landing page that can easily be customized by the user. Download landing pages contain valuable features such as a dedicated support forum, file preview, and links. Thanks to a highly detailed access permissions infrastructure, files can be password protected or restricted to specific users and user groups.
For enhanced functionality, the plugin can be integrated with various other plugins, allowing to add features like payment per download, a Q&A forum and more.

Additional Reviews From WordPress.org
I’m only using half of the features this plugin has so there is plenty of room to grow if the client wishes. I would (and have) highly recommend this plugin to anyone looking for a simple yet robust file management system for WordPress.
On my blog, I post a lot of files that users are downloading. This plugin has made the process that much easier. It’s so easy to use and it’s working great for me so far.
CM Download Manager has kept me organized. The support team has been great in aiding me with any questions that I have. Great plugin that does what it’s supposed to!
I currently have the free version of the CM Download Manager Plug In, and I am very happy with it. I am pleased that there is no limitation on downloads, since I have chosen to make most of my uploaded files public. I have the ability to see how many views each file is getting, as well as votes for each user download.
The index where I manage my downloads has lots of useful features that allow me to sort my downloads based upon the particular stats I am looking for, such as by upload date, popularity of the download, and more. This helps me to evaluate my site’s success better.
I am definitely happy with how this plugin has helped to increase my productivity and has changed the way upload files on my website. I am definitely considering purchasing the paid version; with all of the extra features, I’m certain that my website could benefit greatly.
