Assets Manager is a self-hosted file sharing tool. Born out of the need for a file sharing tool that was not blocked by high security firewalls, such as many existing file sharing services are, Assets Manager was developed. When you upload a file, or set of files, Assets Manager generates obscured links to the files so that you can control how those files are shared.
Features
- Set an expiration period for when the file link will expire.
- Disable links after they’ve been shared (no more fretting when sending out emails).
- Force anyone trying to access a link to log into your site.
- Creates landing page for each asset post type collecting files uploaded together into one link.
