  • Simple And Robust

    This plugin is simple to use and easy to setup as well. I am reading Misha's blog and found this plugin useful. It helps my multisite network as well.

  • No fluff, no crap: just the functionality we need

    I was very excited to see this plugin hit the repo, as I've experimented with tons of other plugins in this space and this one finally checks all the boxes we needed without a bunch of other crap. It's simple - using WordPress native APIs and fitting seamlessly into the user interface.It's clean - not filling your dashboard full of banners, ads, notices, or features you didn't ask for.It works - letting you categorize media items into folders, and use those folders to find the media you're looking for when selecting media. The developer is competent, established, responsive, and helpful. I wish more plugins in the repo were like this one!

  • It's a bad plugin

    This plugin is useless—one thing doesn't work, then another.Don't waste your time downloading and installing it.Developer: Before you release a plugin to the community, test it thoroughly. A JavaScript error was fixed in version 1.4.4. I uploaded files by folder, but after refreshing the page, the results disappeared. Drag-and-drop doesn’t work; after dragging files into a folder, they’re not there. I uninstalled the plugin—I don’t want to put my website at risk or feel like I’m just a tester.
