Great product and fantastic support
Just wanted to say how much I like this plugin. (I have the pro version) I am also very impressed with the support. (you may have to wait a few - but the conversation is saved and there is an audible tone when they respond.) It is easy to access (go to the plugin and start to deactivate it - it will take you to support). Even if you accidentally closed the support tab, your conversation is still there. The support folks are VERY knowledgeable. and they have several tools (they can safely, remotely view your screen, they provide an easy tool to record what is going wrong.) to facilitate the support process. Best yet! NO AI!

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.
