You can categorize the images in the library, create folders and subfolders. It has a search engine and integrates the category lists in all Media Library modal selectors that appear in the page, post, product editors. Very useful. _______________________________________________________________________ Buen plugin. Sencillo y funcional. Da lo que promete.

Really good idea for organising my media library files. I can now find documents by their type and format. It was quite messy before installing this plugin. More than happy with it and use it all the time.
