I like RSJoomla extensions. I bought few, including few copies of their RSForm Pro. Since I was very happy with the quality of their extension and support I bought RSFiles. I like it, but one feature that stopped me from using it and look for alternative is the fact there is no way to turn off the Home icon from the GUI. This Home icon takes you the Home folder, which shows all the sub-folders, regardless whether you want to show some of these sub-folders. That for me was a show stopper. Admittedly, when I raised this issue with them, i got an reply from them within few hours that I would be able to modify this option by poking and modifying the code. Something that I cannot do, or have the time to do it.
Other than that, is is not a bad effort.

I am a longtime user of DocMan. I have been trying to resolve a SQL JQuery bug in their application for some time so I decided to investigate other document publishing options. Thankfully I tried RSFiles! First off, publishing documents is as simple as adding them to a published folder. You can set attributes before publishing, but if you are posting the same document on a regular basis (ie newsletters) and don't want to dictate attributes every time you publish a document, RSFiles is for you. Next, customizing the layout and design of the application is as simple as a single-file edit (as opposed to multiple files in multiple locations). You can even create your own template to override the default layout. Lastly, RSJoomla technical support is responsive--enough said. You ask, they respond. What more can you ask for?
This is a Great Component ! Easy to install and maintain. This is my second extension from this developer so i'm very happy.
The support is great. This is very important for me! Keep it the good work guys :)

I've been using RSFiles for some time now and on a number of sites from Joomla 1.5 to 1.7. The component works exceptionally well. It has comprehensive documentation and if you still have difficulties, the support from the site is second to none. Very prompt very professional.
There are free extensions out there that do similar, but none as complete and well polished.
Yes it is commercial, and the only downside I see is that it is a yearly subscription for the support and free updates. But for the hassle free useage, it is a small price to pay. Well done guys you rock!

I installed RSFiles! and had it running in just a couple of minutes. The service was awesome. I ran into two problems, one a misunderstanding of how a feature worked on my part, and another problem with a feature that didn't work how it should. The service guys tackled them both as if they were working on their own problems and resolved them quickly.
The product is excellent and provides us with a secure solution to controlling files for download/upload with our membership. Setting up groups and corresponding folders and files that groups have access to is quick and secure.
This is the third product I have bought for RSJoomla and all of them perform as expected.

Great extension that really streamlines site file management (engineering drawing & document repository) and will allow document exchange and tracking with customers. Will now set up an intranet and rsfiles for internal document access, control and release management.
Like the way it uses real directories and files, so you can manage those easily via filezilla et al
Support has been very helpful, prompt and useful. Could not ask for more, thanks guys!
Wish List to ease bulk file naming work:
1. File thumbnail defaults to last used thumbnail
2. File title (name) and description defaults to last saved text
3. Facility to export filenames to csv or similar, add names, descriptions & thumbnail paths in excel, and import list. This would save heaps of time!

I have used RSFiles! on our main web for providing secure access to specific files. It is very flexible, and allows me to define the template I want. Run stable as a rock, and is easy to configure. Only little minus is, that Danish language for front-end requires Danish language for the back-end.
This component displays your files in an unattractive manner and does not provide administrators with much (if any) functionality beyond simple downloads.
RS Joomla is a company that I trust and I've purchased a couple of other products. However this particular component is far too basic and inflexible to have been worth my purchase.

Features: 6 Stars - At version 1.0 the product isn't feature rich (yet), but solved a very specific need for my customers website.
Reliability: 10 Stars - Like other RSJoomla products, RSFiles is well behaved and installs without issue.
Support: 10 Stars - When confronted with minor usability challenges, RS support was quick to respond, followed up and assisted me in configuring the product to meet my needs

Nice component , works as advertised . The support is excellent. Good job, guys
I'm using RSFiles on 2 sites now. I had a small problem that was quickly fixed, and turned out to be a path issue when I migrated from the development server to the production server.
I use several components from these guys and the rare occasion I need support it's dealt with promptly.
