Biggest opportunity: Add “secure file”, “upload field” and “wpform” to your wp.org tags. You rank #11, #15 and #16 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 11.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,667 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Forms plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Add “secure file”, “upload field” and “wpform” to your wp.org tags. You rank #11, #15 and #16 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

Reviewer account pattern
from wp.org reviewer profiles20 of the last 23 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.
Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

Great plugin and a valuable addition to WPForms. It solved an issue I couldn’t find a reliable solution for elsewhere. Thanks for the excellent work!

This is an essential plugin for your forms to allow your clients to upload multiple file types, I’ve been using the free version for several years now with no issues. Would definitely recommend this as a must-have on your forms.

So good to have a free plugin to add file uploads. Instead of paying wpforms loads of money.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ studiomax12108mo ago
If you are using the free version of WPForms and need to collect resumes, photos, or PDFs from your users, Filenzo is a lifesaver. It effectively unlocks a “Pro-only” feature without the $199/year price tag of the WPForms Pro plan.The Pros Cost-Effective: It provides a functional file upload field for free, which is usually locked behind a premium paywall in the core WPForms plugin. Simple Integration: It uses the native WPForms drag-and-drop interface. Once installed, a new “File Upload” field appears in your builder. Customization: You can restrict specific file extensions (e.g., only allowing .jpg or .pdf) and set maximum file size limits to protect your server storage. Email Attachments: It includes an option to attach the uploaded files directly to the admin notification email, making it easy to view submissions without logging into WordPress. The Cons Dependency: It cannot work alone; it requires the base WPForms plugin to be installed. Limited Storage Options: Unlike the official WPForms Pro version (which integrates with Zapier or Google Drive), Filenzo primarily saves files to your WordPress uploads directory (/wp-content/uploads/wpxform-uploads/). Third-Party Risk: Since it is not developed by the official WPForms team (Awesome Motive), there is always a slight risk of compatibility issues during major WPForms updates.
