Description
FileDroppr turns your PDFs into secure, trackable share links – and surfaces who read them inside wp-admin.
- Upload a PDF from the FileDroppr admin page and get a trackable share link.
- See your files, view counts, and expiry at a glance; open the full readership analytics with one click.
- A dashboard widget shows recent reads (file, reader country, pages read, when).
- Embed a tracked link anywhere with the
[filedroppr uuid="..."]shortcode.
You need a free FileDroppr account and an API key (Account API keys at filedroppr.com). Readership analytics, password protection, and expiry follow your FileDroppr plan.
This plugin is a client for the FileDroppr service (https://filedroppr.com); PDFs you share are uploaded to your FileDroppr account over HTTPS.
External services
This plugin is a client for FileDroppr (https://filedroppr.com), the external service it depends on to store and share your PDFs and to report readership analytics. A free FileDroppr account and an API key are required.
The plugin sends data to FileDroppr over HTTPS only when you actively use it:
- When you upload a PDF (FileDroppr -> Files), that PDF file is sent to your FileDroppr account to create a secure, trackable share link.
- When you view your files, a file’s analytics, or the Recent reads” dashboard widget, the plugin sends authenticated requests to read that data.
- When you open a file’s QR code, the plugin requests the QR image for that file.
Every request includes your FileDroppr API key as a bearer token. Nothing is sent until you take one of the actions above, and the plugin contacts no other external service.
