    Fileflare is amazing. After unresolved issues with a very popular app we used before, we tested several similar ones, and this was the only one that truly met all our requirements. It’s practical, well-structured, and efficient. No complaints, just praise!

    Excellent support and very useful app. Fileflare has worked very well with my Shopify store, and the support has been outstanding. Ian has taken the time to understand my particular setup and what I’m trying to accomplish with both retail ebooks and institutional resources. Highly recommended.
