Client Files - Secure File Sharing for WHMCS

Transform the way you share files with your WHMCS clients. Each client gets their own private, secure file area accessible from the client portal, while admins can easily manage and upload files directly from the WHMCS admin area. This product is FREE and you can fork it if you like but since it's free, we don't provide support.
