Description

The Onyx Files manages file downloads in WordPress through customizable secure links, access counting, and granular access rules for registered users, groups, devices, or IPs. The solution centralizes the file catalog in a single administrative interface, with password protection, per-user limits, and specific IP blocking, catering to those who need to distribute materials to customers, subscribers, or member areas without exposing files publicly.

Who is the Onyx Files recommended for?

  • Those who distribute digital materials (ebooks, PDFs, spreadsheets, mockups) to paying customers and need to protect access.
  • You who run a member area or client portal and want to limit downloads per account and device.
  • Those who deliver manuals, raw media, contracts, or sensitive files in post-sales flow and require tracking of who downloaded.

How to Download Onyx Files

The Onyx Files is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it in Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the package, and activate. After activation, the file manager appears as its own item in the WordPress admin panel, ready to register the first downloads and their access rules.

For those who need a control layer between the file catalog and the audience, Onyx Files focuses on secure link issuance, download monitoring, and access policies all in one panel. It works well in member areas, client portals, internal repositories, and post-sales delivery flows, where direct file linking would expose material that should remain restricted to the authorized audience.
