Simple File List free WordPress plugin

Simple File List is a free plugin that is great for when you need to provide a list of files, either publicly available or private to logged-in users. Place a file list anywhere on your site using a simple shortcode, allowing your front-end users to open, download and optionally edit them. Users can also upload files if you choose.

Simple File List is also a good alternative for creative people using clumsy FTP or Dropbox for larger files. Simply provide your clients with a link to their file list.
