Questions
Something else on your mind? Ask the team
Do my clients need a WordPress account for Secure Send?
No. They get a private link by email and confirm their inbox with a 6-digit code. The Client Portal works the same way, so there are no passwords for them to manage.
What's the difference between the free plugin and Protect Uploads Pro?
Our free plugin on WordPress.org provides basic directory protection by hiding your uploads folder contents. Protect Uploads Pro adds advanced features including advanced image protection, password protection, smart expiring links, business analytics, bulk operations, role-based access control, professional watermarking, Secure Send and priority support.
Do I need the free plugin installed to use Pro?
Yes, Protect Uploads Pro extends the free version with premium features. The free plugin provides the foundation, while Pro adds advanced security, analytics, and automation features. Both work together seamlessly.
Why should I upgrade from the free version?
While the free version offers basic protection, Pro provides comprehensive security with features like advanced image protection, detailed analytics to see who's accessing your files, bulk operations to protect thousands of files at once, and priority support when you need help.
Does it work on Nginx?
Yes. On Apache and LiteSpeed, Pro writes the uploads rule for you and tests it. On Nginx, the settings page shows the exact configuration to add.
Will this slow down my website?
No, Protect Uploads Pro is optimized for performance. The plugin uses efficient caching and lightweight code that won't impact your site speed. Many users actually see improved performance due to reduced bandwidth theft.
Can I use this on multiple sites?
Yes! The Professional plan covers 1 site, the Agency plan covers unlimited sites, and the Lifetime license includes unlimited sites forever. Every plan includes the same protection features.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards through our secure Stripe checkout. All transactions are encrypted and PCI-compliant for your security.
