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.

WP PlugIndex currently records Member File Box – Secure Personal Downloads version 1.0.0 as active, updated 6mo ago and tested up to WordPress 6.9.
Overview
About this plugin
Member File Box lets you upload PDF files and assign them to individual WordPress users or MemberPress members. Each user can only access their own files — never those of other users.
Perfect for consultants, coaches, agencies, and service providers who need to deliver personalized documents such as reports, contracts, analyses, invoices, or handbooks directly to their clients through a secure member area.
Key Features
Individual file delivery – Upload files and assign them to a specific user
Secure file storage – Files are stored outside the public web root; direct URL access is blocked via.htaccess
Dedicated admin menu – Manage all documents from a clean backend panel
Email notification – Optionally notify the user by email when a new file is available
Expiry dates – Set an optional expiry date per file; expired files are hidden automatically
Categories – Organize files by type (Analysis, Contract, Handbook, Report, Checklist, etc.)
Frontend shortcode – Display files to logged-in users with [ki_downloadbereich]
MemberPress compatible – Works with any MemberPress version via direct database queries
Works without MemberPress – Falls back to all WordPress users if MemberPress is not installed
Backend search – Quickly filter documents by name, user, or category
How It Works
Admin uploads a PDF and selects a user from the dropdown
Optionally adds a description, category, expiry date, and enables email notification
The user logs in and sees their personal files via the [ki_downloadbereich] shortcode
Download links are validated server-side — only the assigned user (or admins) can download the file
Use Cases
Deliver personalized compliance reports to individual clients
Share contracts or invoices securely with specific users
Provide custom analysis documents in a member area
Send handbooks or onboarding materials to new members
Shortcode
Place this shortcode on any page in your member area:
[ki_downloadbereich]
Users who are not logged in will see a login prompt. Users with no assigned files will see an informative empty state message.
