PX File Pro – Joomla File Manager for Teams and Clients
Add-on for the free PX File ManagerPX File Pro adds folder profiles, protected core files, an activity log with notifications, share links and search and replace inside files to the free PX File Manager. Included in the Pro membership.
Give each Joomla user group its own folder
Clients, editors or the marketing team see only their folder, with the operations, upload size and file types you allow. Everything is checked on the server, not just hidden in the screen.
- Root folder per group or per user
- Choose operations: upload, edit, delete, share…
- Upload size, allowed and blocked file types
- Hidden and read-only paths
Keep Joomla core files out of reach
configuration.php, .htaccess, /administrator and /libraries are hidden or read-only for everyone but Super Users, who confirm before changing them.
- configuration.php, keys and .env hidden
- Core folders read-only
- Super Users confirm every change
- Your own lists in the options
Know who changed which file, and when
Every upload, edit, rename, move and delete is logged with user, IP, size and a SHA-256 fingerprint, and refused attempts show in red. Get it by email, Slack, Teams or Discord.
- Filters and CSV export
- Also in Joomla’s User Actions Log
- Email or chat notifications, now or as a daily digest
- Retention with Joomla Scheduled Tasks
Send a file or folder with a link that expires
Create a public download link from the right-click menu: set the expiry, a password and a download limit, and revoke it whenever you like. Folders are sent as a zip.
- Expiry, password and download limit
- Link shown once, stored as a fingerprint
- Stops working when the creator loses access
- Every download logged
Search and replace inside your Joomla files
Find text or a regular expression in every file of a folder, open the file at the right line, and replace across files after a preview. Each changed file is copied to the trash first.
- Plain text or regex, match case
- Only / skip file patterns
- Preview every change, pick the files
- Originals kept in the trash
Upload from a URL, compare before you save
Fetch a file from another site straight into a folder, upload whole folders and resume after a reload. In the editor, compare your changes with the saved file, go full screen or turn on the minimap.
- Upload from URL, internal addresses blocked
- Folder upload with resume
- Compare with saved, full screen, minimap

Frequently asked questions
Will it work with my template?
Yes — our extensions do not depend on a specific template or framework.
Can I use PX File Pro on more than one website?
Yes — memberships cover unlimited websites, for your own projects and for your clients.
What happens if I cancel my membership?
Websites you have built keep working — the templates are GPL. You just stop receiving new downloads, updates and support.
