No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

Positive Praise

Reviewers say it's a lifesaver for getting FTP-uploaded files into the media library, including large files that blow past host upload limits, with links updating correctly.

    A hard upload limit per file is set by the hosting provider on the webserver. I needed to upload some video files bigger than 128MB. Uploading through FTP was possible but then there is no pointer to the uploaded file. Thank you, this has been a great help to me.

    This extension saved me hours of work and headaches. It allowed me to upload media via FTP to a folder from an earlier date, and all the links were updated with the new media. This kind of task is difficult to do, and plugins that claim to be able to do it don’t work; the URLs are only modified virtually.
