Send large files from your own Joomla site with a secure, expiring download link. Files are stored on your own server or your own FTP, FTPS or SFTP space, never in a third-party cloud like WeTransfer.
Filedrop turns your Joomla site into a file transfer service. A visitor drags files onto a page, fills in whatever you ask of them, and gets a download link that expires on your terms. No account needed, no upload limit imposed by someone else's free tier, and no file leaving infrastructure you control.
It is built for the case where sending a large file through a public transfer service is not an option: client work under NDA, medical or legal documents, anything covered by a data processing agreement that names your own hosting and nobody else's.
Files stay where you put them
Keep your files under your control. Store them on your own Joomla server or send them directly to your own FTP, FTPS or SFTP server, never through a third-party cloud. Filedrop connects to storage with a password or an SFTP private key, and you decide the folder structure with placeholders for the uploader's username, their name, and the upload date.
Before any visitor depends on those settings, a connection check runs seven tests against them: the PHP extension on your server, DNS, the port, the private key pair, the login, the target folder, and finally a real write test that stores and removes a test file through exactly the same code an upload uses. Green all the way down means uploads will work.
Large files, without the timeouts
Uploads travel in chunks, so your server's per-request upload limit only has to fit one chunk instead of the whole file. The chunk size and the maximum transfer size are both yours to set, and the size limit is enforced while the upload runs rather than after the last byte arrives. Several files are bundled into one archive automatically; a single archive that is already zipped is passed through under its own name.
Links that stop working
Every transfer gets a download link built on a token generated from 32 bytes of cryptographic randomness. On top of that you can require a password, set an expiry in days, and cap the number of downloads. Reach the cap and the transfer deletes itself, files included. A scheduled task cleans up whatever has expired, sweeps abandoned upload fragments, and warns you by e-mail when your storage quota fills up.
The form asks exactly what you want
Sender name, e-mail address, recipients, message, expiry, download limit and password can each be shown, required, or hidden. Hidden fields fall back to a default value you configure, enforced on the server so it cannot be worked around by calling the upload endpoint directly. Defaults understand placeholders for the logged-in visitor's name, username and e-mail address, so an internal page can fill itself in.
Run more than one upload page and each menu item can carry its own field settings, with the component options as the fallback. A public page can ask for a sender e-mail while an internal page hides it and fills it in from the account.
Built to survive the open internet
Joomla, not a bolted-on app
Notification e-mails run through Joomla's Mail Templates, so you edit the wording under System, Mail Templates like any other Joomla message. Transfer activity is recorded in Joomla's own User Actions Log through an included plugin. Logged-in users get a My Transfers page listing what they sent and received, with a delete button for their own transfers. Two site modules put the upload form or that list in any module position.
What you install
One package containing the component, two site modules, a scheduled task plugin for cleanup, and an action log plugin. The interface ships in English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish and Italian.
Display DOCman categories and documents in modern tables, lists, galleries, and folder trees: shortcodes in articles, a site module for positions, 24+ layouts, and a scoped 2026 UI with Font Awesome icons.
Easy Docman List is a Joomla content plugin and optional site module for Joomla 5. It requires DOCman by Joomlatools and wraps DOCman data in polished front-end layouts without replacing DOCman itself.
Use {docmanlist} shortcodes inside articles, or publish Easy Docman List modules in template positions. Pick flat or nested table, list, simple file list, image gallery, dropdown, cart, or category browser layouts. Version 5.0.0 ships a complete UI revamp under scoped edl- CSS so lists look consistent on any template.
Whether you run a downloads page, member document library, product spec hub, or nested folder archive, Easy Docman List helps visitors find files faster while editors stay in familiar Joomla and DOCman workflows.
{docmanlist} shortcodes in articles and mod_easy_docman_list in module positions.edl-root so CSS stays isolatedA download page is not only a bare file list. Visitors want clear folder structure, file size and date at a glance, and layouts that work on phone and desktop. Editors want category pickers, sensible defaults, and modules that inherit plugin settings when left blank.
Easy Docman List covers that loop on your own Joomla site: configure DOCman, enable the plugin, drop a shortcode or module, pick a layout, and refine columns and ordering.
Table for spreadsheet-style downloads. List for card-style rows with title, actions, and meta. Simple file list for compact multi-column filename lists. Image columns and image list for thumbnail galleries. Dropdown for compact `` navigation. Cart layouts when DOCman cart integration applies. Categories for a top-level folder index.
Every major flat layout has a nested variant (nestedtable, nestedlist, nestedimagecolumns, and more) that walks subfolders with expand/collapse chevrons. nestedcategories shows the category tree without listing every file.
The site module adds Default, Card, and Bare chrome around the same DOCman output for sidebars and full-width demo pages.
Nested layouts use Font Awesome chevrons and vanilla JavaScript toggles. Set Show expanded and Auto expand level in plugin or module settings, or use shortcode keywords such as showCollapsed and autoExpandTwoLevels.
Image column layouts use CSS grid on gallery rows with configurable 2 to 5 columns. Lists reflow meta and download actions on narrow screens.
Plugin shortcodes and modules can share a page. Assets load once; each list keeps its own wrapper and layout class.
