With this plugin it is easy to create a download directory or a documents directory using SOBI2.
It allows adding an unlimited number of files to every entry.
The number of allowed files for an entry, the maximum file size and the allowed extensions are adjustable in the back-end.
For every uploaded file a license can be assigned which has to be confirmed if the user wants to download the file.
The list of files for an entry can be displayed in the details view and/or in the category view. For both views an extra download template exist which can be customized.
In the front-end Add-Entry Form and in the edit entry tab in back-end an "Upload" button is added. Clicking on the button opens a popup window where the files can be uploaded and the license can be assigned.

This plug-in is great as long as you don't mind any deleted files remaining on the server which makes it very inefficient, especially that each file is placed in it's own folder. Imagine trying to figure out which files still belong to an entry and which have been deleted, it's pretty much impossible.
So until the code is improved so the deleted data is also removed this is not a great application...

Other developers looking to thrive in the Joomla community should study how sigsui.net gets it done. The quality of support from them spoils me for almost every other module we use.

I love the versatility of the Sobi2 Component, and the download plugin was just what I needed to get my files in order!
Awesome work to add to the fine sobi collection.
Best of all... ITS FREE as in Beer!!!
But it's definitely a worthy project for my donation!
Support on the forum is second to none as well with a great user community willing to share their experience.

since the new version this is the best solution for a download directory I ever saw.

This is exactly what I was looking for I was building a Site like this till I found Joomla and then this MASTERPIECE SOBI 2.
I love it. It answers all my problems and I can use it with Community builder with the plug in from CB.
You guys are the greatest.

I think just such GPL extensions can force the commercials to switch to GPL like businesses.
It can be better in future , i hope.
