File Cabinet creates a custom post type with special functions designed for managing a library of files. Add files to the library by adding directly to WordPress's media management system, setting a remote URL to allow use of services like Dropbox and Google Drive. File Cabinet also supports YouTube and Vimeo videos via the video ID on either site. Novice users can use shortcodes to add items to their posts, while developers can take advantage of the loop and custom functions to create custom library output as well as a built-in permissions system.

Automatic thumbnail download queries the API of YouTube or Vimeo to automatically add a thumbnail to the post with the video attached.

The permissions system in File Cabinet must be custom-written into a theme. It does not work out of the box.
