One of the most important plugins for sites I create
The Media Library in default WordPress installations is a mess--so unorganized. I am so, so happy I found FileBird. I can't imagine creating content on a WordPress site without it!

Great plug-in and excellent support
Been using Filebird Pro for 4+ years - solving the mess that's the native media management in WP. Recently, I decided to test/use the Filebird Gallery but encountered a hiccup - when my theme conflicted with the lightbox icons - yet, support solved the issue fast with some custom code. Thanks Mia and NinjaTeam!
THE CANDY TRAIL -
support was great
I needed help using my license on another staging site, same domain. It was done within minutes and I was able to update my plugin right away. Thank you Sreehari.

Excellent Plugin and Excellent Support
This plugin is invaluable if you have more than a few items in your Media Library.Images and documents can be organised into folders to make it easier to find items.I have had a very positive first support request with Ninja Team support who managed to track down a plugin conflict and fix the issue the same day.Keep up the good work!
