## Descripció

**BSX File Exchange** turns your WordPress site into a private file-sharing portal
between you and your clients — no third-party services, no public links, no extra
accounts.

You create Host/Guest pairs. Both sides can upload and download files. Every transfer
is logged, every download is authenticated, and nothing is ever accessible by direct
URL.

#### How it works

 1. Create a **Host/Guest pair** in the admin panel — linking any two registered users
 2. Both users log into your site and see their **private dashboard** via the `[bsxfe_dashboard]`
    shortcode
 3. Either side uploads a file — the other receives an **email notification** instantly
 4. Downloads go through a secure PHP endpoint with **token-based authentication** —
    no public file URLs ever exist

#### Who is it for

 * **Medical practices** — share test results, prescriptions, and referrals with
   patients
 * **Law firms** — exchange contracts, briefs, and case documents with clients
 * **Coaches and consultants** — share materials, homework, and session notes with
   coachees
 * **Accountants** — deliver reports, invoices, and tax documents to businesses
 * **Any service** requiring private, tracked, bilateral document exchange with 
   clients

#### Features

 * **Bidirectional exchange** — both Host and Guest can upload and download files
 * **Secure storage** — files live in `/wp-content/uploads/bsx-file-exchange/` behind
   an `.htaccess` that blocks all direct access
 * **Token-based downloads** — every download link is unique and authenticated; 
   sharing the URL with someone else does nothing
 * **Email notifications** — automatic alerts when a new file is uploaded
 * **Multi-pair support** — one user can belong to multiple pairs; the dashboard
   lets them switch between pairs without page reload
 * **Read/unread tracking** — recipients see which files are new
 * **Activity log** — every upload, download, and deletion is logged with timestamp,
   IP address, and user agent; exportable as CSV
 * **Privacy modes** — choose between pair-only visibility, admin read-only, or 
   admin full access
 * **Frontend shortcode** — embed the dashboard anywhere with `[bsxfe_dashboard]`
 * **Full wp-admin panel** — manage pairs, view files per pair, browse activity,
   configure settings, and run system diagnostics from a dedicated Debug page
 * **Customizable color palette** — set primary and secondary colors from Settings
   to match your brand
 * **Ultimate Member integration** — adds a tab to UM account and profile pages 
   automatically when Ultimate Member is active
 * **i18n ready** — fully translatable, Spanish included

#### What’s included

 * Unlimited Host/Guest pairs
 * Bidirectional upload and download for all pairs
 * Email notifications (sender name and address configurable)
 * Frontend shortcode dashboard with drag-and-drop upload
 * wp-admin panel with Pairs, Hosts, Guests, Activity, Settings, and Debug pages
 * Activity log with CSV export
 * File size limit configurable up to server maximum
 * Configurable allowed file types (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, JPG, PNG, ZIP, and more)
 * Optional data deletion on uninstall

### Privacy Policy

BSX File Exchange stores the following data in your WordPress database:

 * File metadata (filename, size, MIME type, upload date) linked to registered WordPress
   users
 * Download and upload events with IP address and user agent string for audit purposes
 * Email notification records (recipient, timestamp)

**Anonymous usage tracking (opt-in only)**

If you choose to enable anonymous usage tracking in Settings, the plugin sends the
following data to the plugin developer once per week:

 * Plugin version, WordPress version, PHP version
 * Site language and whether multisite is enabled
 * Number of active pairs (a count only, not the content)
 * Whether Ultimate Member is active
 * Server software type (Apache, Nginx, etc.)

The following data is **never** collected or transmitted: your domain name, IP addresses,
usernames, file names, file content, or any personally identifiable information.
A one-way hash is used to distinguish unique installations without identifying the
site. This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled or disabled at any 
time from **BSX File Exchange  Settings**.

No data is transmitted to external servers unless you explicitly enable usage tracking.
All files are stored locally within your WordPress installation under the standard
uploads directory. Administrators can permanently remove all plugin data — including
database tables, options, and uploaded files — by enabling the **Delete all data
on uninstall** option in Settings before deactivating and deleting the plugin.

## Instal·lació

 1. Upload the `bsx-file-exchange` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install directly
    from the WordPress plugin directory
 2. Activate the plugin from the **Plugins** menu in WordPress
 3. Go to **BSX File Exchange  Settings** and configure your preferences (allowed file
    types, size limit, colors, notification email)
 4. Create a WordPress page and add the shortcode `[bsxfe_dashboard]` to it
 5. In Settings, set that page as the Dashboard page
 6. Go to **BSX File Exchange  Pairs** and click **+ New pair** to create your first
    Host/Guest connection
 7. Both users will see the dashboard automatically when they log in and visit the 
    shortcode page

## PMF

### Are files publicly accessible?

No. Files are stored in `/wp-content/uploads/bsx-file-exchange/` with an `.htaccess`
file that denies all direct HTTP access. Every download goes through a PHP authentication
endpoint that verifies the requesting user has an active pair linked to that specific
file before serving it.

### Can one user be in multiple pairs?

Yes. A Host can be paired with multiple Guests, and a Guest can be linked to multiple
Hosts. The dashboard shows all active pairs and lets the user switch between them
with a single click and no page reload.

### What file types are supported?

By default: PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT, PPTX, TXT, CSV, JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF,
WebP, ZIP, and RAR. You can enable or disable any type from **BSX File Exchange  
Settings**.

### What happens to files when I delete a pair?

All files belonging to that pair — along with their database records, notifications,
activity logs, and the physical files on disk — are permanently and irreversibly
deleted.

### Can I limit file size?

Yes. Go to **Settings** and set the maximum file size. The effective limit is automatically
capped to your server’s `upload_max_filesize` and `post_max_size` PHP settings —
you can verify this in the **Debug** page.

### Does it work with Ultimate Member?

Yes. When Ultimate Member is active, BSX File Exchange automatically adds a tab 
to both the account and profile pages, so users can access their file exchange dashboard
directly from their UM profile without needing a separate shortcode page.

### Does it work with multisite?

The plugin works on individual sites within a multisite network. Network-wide activation
is not currently supported.

### Is there a Pro version?

A Pro version is planned for a future release with features including: no file size
limit, file expiry dates, password-protected download links, inline preview for 
images and PDFs, and per-pair notification customization. It is not available yet—
follow the plugin page for updates when it launches.
