Filevue turns your WordPress site into a private client portal. Create clients, upload files into organized folders, and give each client their own login where they can view and download documents, upload their own files, and update their personal details and password from My Account. No WordPress account needed.

Your site name is used for all branding. No “Powered by” labels, no third-party logos. The portal adapts to your WordPress admin color scheme automatically.
