A Powerful Media Platform For WordPress

Filetrip makes it easy to distribute files from WordPress to the Cloud on autopilot. When users upload files, Filetrip sends copies to multiple destinations of your choice. You can instantly copy files to Google Drive, backup to Dropbox, or FTP files anywhere in the world…plus a whole lot more. All this happens automatically in WordPress, but totally under your control.

To make Filetrip more practical and strong, we designed it to be scalable, flexible and easy to use. For instance, administrators can instantiate unlimited number of uploaders, in which each uploader can be configured individually. For example, you can customize options like (Cloud Destination Folder, Icons, Colors, Labels, and Channels).

Moreover, the plugin is responsive and can work in multiple browsers elegantly. Also users can use it to upload their files from mobile phones (Android, iPhone, and iPad).

Smart Media Distribution

Filetrip will add the capability of sending any native Media files in bulk to whatever selected cloud channel; supporting a maximum size of 2GB per file transfer [Subjected to Customer’s Host Configuration Off Course].

Let’s see how File Distribution Center (FDC) works in a short 20 seconds video.

Website Backup

Website owners also will have the freedom of planning either complete or partial website backup (SQL, Files, or SQL+Files). The website owner can either manually or automatically setup a backup generation function. Also the system can trigger an Email notification whenever it creates a backup. What’s unique about chunk uploading is no matter how large your website is; Filetrip is capable of chunking the backup into pieces and upload them to your desired storage channel.

Many File Types

Filetrip expands on what files WordPress accepts by default, and allows many file types, including:

• Music – wav, mp3, mp4, mid, m4a, wma
• Video – mp4, avi, mpg, wmv
• Images – png, jpg, gif, bmp, psd, ai, eps, tiff, svg
• Documents – pdf, doc, docx, xls, xlsx, csv, ppt, pptx

Customizable Uploaders

Filetrip allows you to make your own customized uploaders. These uploaders have their own
settings for:

• Storage destinations files are sent to
• Restrictions on what files can be uploaded

Approval and Notifications

To keep safe, you have the ability to choose which of these files gets

Extension Architecture for Developers

Filetrip offers an all-in-one file distribution system for WordPress that makes it so much easier to get your files exactly where you need them to be saving your website space and consolidating your uploads in one organized location. What is great about FileTrip is that it is not only a plugin, but it is rather a framework where other developers can unleash their creativity and build their own extensions on top of FileTrip.

Extension Based Architecture to Optimize Your Dashboard Performance

FileTrip uses Extension based architecture for every single feature it provides to keep your website clean from any unnecessary features. All you have to do, is to activate whatever features you want to use from Filetrip extension page to see it installed and activated in your website.

For instance if you only need to transfer form’s uploads, backup and Media files to your Dropbox business account; just go and enable Dropbox channel only. Extension page is like a switch panel where you can turn On/Off any features according to your business need.

Rich Set of Actions & Filters for Developers

FileTrip has a built-in extension architecture that allow any developer to build custom extensions with ease. Allowing developers to play with hooks and filters to almost observe and react to all functional events.

Actions

Some of the events (actions) are:

• When a user starts an upload session;
• When a user successfully commits an upload;
• If a user deletes or rejects an upload from the Review page;
• If a user approves an upload;
• And many other core actions.

Filters

A developer can use the following sub-set of (Filters) too:

• Rename an uploaded file: Add prefixes to uploaded files as you require.
• When a channel is activated and registered: It allow developers to register new channels and integrate to the current activated channels.
• When a connector activates and registers itself to the system: It allow developers to register new form connectors and integrate to the current activated connectors.

What Channels Are ?

A channel is a communication media that can connect your WordPress site to your desired Cloud destination. Once a user activates a channel from the extensions page, a set of functionality to any selected channel (Dropbox, S3, FTP and Google Drive) will be activated right away across the FileTrip plugin space:

• Bulk transfer files from Media Library to any cloud destination in a queue scheduled format;
• Integrating custom made out of the box;
• Allows you to review, (auto)approve, and transfer files to your desired folder destination;
• Allow Website backup to be forwarded to any channel folder destination.

Figure (A) – FileTrip Upload Flow Diagram

In this section we are going to describe the flow of transmission of uploads to multiple channels until it reaches website admins through either notification or manual review.

FileTrip doesn’t dictate any limitation on how many channels a user can choose to submit files into; in fact you can specify all of the channels to be used as forwarders when you submit a file through FileTrip uploader instance with its configuration. So, if want to build a use case, let’s assume that site administrator has built a custom form using (Caldera Forms) and integrated FileTrip to be used as a native uploader with the following options:

Selected Channels

Let’s select the following:

• Dropbox
• Google Drive
• S3

Generate shared links 

Note that channels with Generated shared links are having a mutual exclusion relationship, so that if any channel was excluded you cannot use its generated links as the channel will not be used to upload any files, thus, there will be no link to share or attach to an email.

Now if a FileTrip uploader with the aforementioned configuration used in a form, the submission process will be as follow:

1. Files will be uploaded to WordPress first, and they will be stored as native attachments.
2. The plugin will check which channels are selected and start forwarding the files in FIFO mode to all of its selected channels, in our example (Dropbox, S3, and Google Drive) are going to have a replicate of the uploads in their pre-configured destinations.
3. During the previous step, the plugin will determine which link it should generate to use it for notification, mainly through email. In our example, one uploaded files get replicated to Dropbox, FileTrip will follow-up with API calls to generate accessible links, store them in the database, and finally attach them to the eventual email notification.
4. Finally, FileTrip will check if `Auto-delete` settings was enabled, it will delete any files from your local website and only retain the copies you have in the cloud.
