Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

BuddyDrive lets BuddyPress users upload, manage, and share files and folders from profiles or groups.

** 2025 UPDATE **

BuddyDrive is now actively maintained once again, with ongoing updates for performance, compatibility, and security.

Let your members upload and share files with ease — right inside your BuddyPress or BuddyBoss community.

BuddyDrive is the simplest way to give users their own personal file storage — and the ability to share files or folders with friends or the wider community. Whether it’s documents, PDFs, images, or other uploads, BuddyDrive keeps everything organized and accessible inside each user’s profile or groups.

This plugin uses the BuddyPress Attachment API for seamless integration, with support for both member profiles and group pages. It’s great for sharing personal files, collaborating in groups, or offering community downloads.

With the free version of BuddyDrive, users can:

  • Upload and manage their own files
  • Share files publicly, with friends, or keep them private
  • Organize uploads into folders
  • Control visibility directly within the user or group interface

BuddyDrive is now under active development with regular updates and ongoing support — rebuilt and maintained by a new team committed to making it fast, secure, and compatible with the latest versions of WordPress, BuddyPress, and BuddyBoss.

BuddyPress is available in English, French, Dutch and Brazilian Portuguese.

Need more advanced sharing options?

BuddyDrive Pro adds powerful features like:

  • Password-protected file access
  • Sharing with specific members or groups
  • More flexible content visibility settings

Perfect for communities, educators, private groups, and creators who want to deliver content securely and selectively.
