Mikesoft TeamVault vs Noted Visual Feedback

Mikesoft TeamVault adds a private document workspace inside the WordPress admin for teams, agencies, partners, and back-office operations that need controlled access to shared files. Instead of exposing documents through normal Media Library URLs, TeamVault keeps files in protected storage and delivers access through authenticated WordPress workflows. TeamVault is a strong fit for: internal company document areas agency-to-client document sharing managed from WordPress admin partner or vendor file exchanges that should stay private operational archives that must stay separate from the public Media Library What you can do with TeamVault: Upload files with drag and drop Organize documents in folders Rename, move, preview, download, and delete files from one interface Export a folder or the full library as ZIP Track uploads, downloads, moves, and deletions in the activity log Organize users into groups and grant per-folder permissions (view, upload, download, delete, manage) Allow preview-only access without download for sensitive documents Set per-user or per-group storage quotas Review access reports and export the activity log to CSV Send email notifications on key document events Why use TeamVault instead of the Media Library? It creates a dedicated private workspace for documents that should not mix with public website assets. It adds capability-based access control with an optional per-user whitelist. It keeps storage, maintenance, and export workflows focused on private documents instead of general media management. Privacy and access control: Files are stored outside the normal Media Library workflow Access is controlled by the manage_private_documents capability, which allows full workspace actions including upload, download, export, rename, move, and delete Optional per-folder permissions limit access to specific users or groups with granular actions and inheritance; folders with no rules keep the capability-based behavior, and administrators always retain full access Settings, groups, quotas, notifications, reports, activity logs, whitelist management, and maintenance tools require administrator-level manage_options access Optional whitelist mode adds a second authorization layer for selected users Cleanup and reindex tools help recover from migrations with missing binaries Key features: Private document storage separated from the Media Library workflow Capability-based access control with optional per-user whitelist mode TeamVault groups independent from WordPress roles Per-folder permissions with granular actions (view, upload, download, delete, manage) and inheritance Preview-only access that blocks download and ZIP export Per-user and per-group storage quotas enforced before upload Access reports by user, file, or folder, with CSV export of the activity log Email notifications for upload, download, delete, and access-denied events Folder create, rename, move, and delete operations Drag-and-drop uploads with upload validation and clear error messages Inline preview for supported files, including PDFs ZIP export for folders or the full library Activity logging for uploads, downloads, previews, moves, and deletions Maintenance tools for orphan cleanup and storage reindex Storage widget focused on the space used by TeamVault files Interface available in English, Italian, French, Spanish, and German, automatically matched to the WordPress language Support For end-user support, use the WordPress.org support forum for Mikesoft TeamVault.
