Biggest opportunity: Swap “buddypress” and “file” for “bp” and “documents”. “buddypress” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “bp” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “file” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “documents” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →0.9%
of downloads still active
At least 600 of 64.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,189 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence

This document is almost exactly what I was looking for. It simply lets you upload your documents and lists them for display/download. Simple, clean, and works perfectly with BuddyPress. The only thing I’d like to see which it doesn’t do is a simple 1 file/line listing, so that it’s easier to display larger collections of documents.
