FAQ

Invalid backend configuration. Readable volumes not available.: Please check your file permission from your hosting panel. The permission must be 0755 for file/folder. If you are using a vps(virtual private server) then you must ensure that the owner of your installation is PHP aka www-data. Another reason could be wrong root folder path/url. Inserting a correct root folder path/URL should fix the issue.
I can not upload larger files then *MB: You can upload any size of file. Library file manager plugin uploads files in chunks. So a very large file can be easily uploaded & downloaded.
Can I preview .psd and document files?: Yes, documents like PSD, DOCX can be previewd via file manager preview.
Can I change file permission like cPanel?: Yes, file/folder permission can be changed like cPanel and other hosting management interfaces. It is very easy. Just right click on the file and you will see a menu named **Change Mode **. Clicking will open a dialogue box, where you can update the file permission, just like cPanel.

I echo the comments left by [constantineg] This plugin has been installed on several websites I manage which allowed it to disable WordFence and grant access to my entire VPS!!! This plugin is DANGEROUS and needs removing ASAP!!!!

constantineg October 21, 2021

The plugin is malicious! It somehow got installed on my site without my involvement and rewrote the database. The site began to refer not to its own database, but to someone else's. See the file wp-config.php /wp-content/plugins/file-manager/elFinder/elFinder.php - AFU : elFinder
