Shoot My File

It’s a WordPress plugin that allows you to upload files and send a private and unique link to one or more recipients, so they can download them directly from your site.

The plugin generates unique and time-limited download links, automatically compresses files into a single .zip archive for download, and tracks accesses and downloads. It also allows you to manage and delete shares.

From the WordPress admin area, you upload the files, enter the recipient’s email, and a personalized message. The recipient receives an email with a secure link to access a public page where they can download the files.

After installing and activating the plugin, you will find a new menu item in the WordPress admin panel. Go to “Shoot My File”, use the form to select and upload the files, enter the recipient’s email address, write a message, and click on “Send link”.

The link is valid for 30 days. After this period, it will no longer be possible to download the files using that link.

No, the download link expires, but the files remain on the server until the user who uploaded them or an administrator manually deletes them from the share management page.

Yes, the plugin logs accesses and downloads. From the “List” section of the menu, you can see the details of each share, including the number of downloads and a history of actions, such as viewing the download page and starting the download.

Yes, you will receive an email notification when a user starts downloading the files.

The files are saved in a subfolder within wp-content/uploads , organized into folders with randomly generated names for security reasons.

For security and fraud prevention purposes, the plugin records the visitor’s IP address but anonymizes it by obscuring the last block (e.g., 192.168.1.* ) or the last four digits for longer addresses (IPv6).

Yes, in the plugin’s “Settings” section, you can select a Privacy Policy and a Terms of Service page from a dropdown menu.

The plugin is designed to assist with compliance, but the final responsibility lies with the site owner (the Data Controller). The plugin collects necessary data for share management and security, such as the recipient’s email address and the anonymized IP.

The plugin collects: the recipient’s email address, accompanying message, sender’s WordPress user ID, the date and time of access to the download page, the date and time of the download start, the acceptance of the terms, and the anonymized IP address.

Yes, the sender is the Data Controller of the recipient’s data. You can permanently delete a share and all associated data and files through the plugin’s “List” page. This ensures the right to erasure as required by the GDPR.
