Biggest opportunity: “file manager”, “media folder” and “media library” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →1.5%
of downloads still active
At least 300 of 19.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,318 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media 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 2 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.

This is a very useful, well written, tool for managing Media files (and Posts and Pages in the Pro version). It allows you to create folders and sub-folders to organise media files, making the library less cluttered.

You have to download to findout that the plugin doesnt have to let you create subfolders, however it is clearly offering subfolders on the plugin description. It should be listed as pro feature

I reached out a bit after support agreement had past. It was never even brought up, instead they where eager to sort out a incompatibility with another plugin. All done within 24 hours. This is a great product and the people behind also, more importantly. This topic was modified 1 year, 6 months ago by mof.

Having tried a few different media-sorting plugins, I finally settled on iFolders. I does a great job, is simple & easy to use and when I had a minor issue, the dev jumped right in and solved the problem. Five stars for the software and five stars for top support.

Essential tool when your wordpress has a lot of pages and half pages.I have tried several but this plugin is the best for its ease of use, adaptability to post/page and media and its price.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ patrickmoan3.2y ago
Simple to use, effective, and worth the modest price of the license. From a usability perspective, I’m much happier being able to organized my posts by categories.

I tried 4 of the other media folder organisers. This one was the best and worked straight out of the box. I made a mistake with the using of it, but the email support straightened me out by answering my questions within 20 minutes. Great Stuff guys.
