Hey, everyone. Just wondering what folks on v10 who used the Documents module have done to replace it. We have many instances of it and are seeking a solution as we prepare to upgrade.

We tried Evotiva User Files, but our users aren't happy with it. We considered a custom module in XMod Pro, but its permissions don't meet our needs.

Appreciate any suggestions.

Have considered sponsoring an update to the documents module to help make it DNN10 compatible?

Thank you, Mitchel. I just installed it on our v10 trial upgrad site. We have so many instances of the old module, and it's great to see them functional again. We'll continue testing and let you know of any issues.
