Dear DoniaWeB members,

We are pleased to announce the official activation of Download Restrictions for Some Free Files, a system introduced to better organize file downloads and protect content quality within the forum.

🔧 What is this system?

Under this update, some files — especially selected or exclusive free files — require users to upload a specific number of files before being able to download them.

Important notes:

• The restriction is based only on file uploads.
  Posts, replies, or comments are not counted.

• This system does not apply to all files and is enabled only on selected files, at the discretion of the administration or the file owner.

✅ How to contribute and upload files

To unlock download restrictions, files must be submitted only through the official method below. Any other method will not be counted:

1. Visit the Files section:
   https://doniaweb.com/files

2. Click on Submit a file.

3. Choose the appropriate category.

4. Submit your file.

---

⚠️ Administrative Notice

• All submitted files are manually reviewed by the administration team.

• A file will only be counted after it has been approved and published.

• Fake, duplicate, or rule-violating files will be rejected and will not be counted.

---

👑 Premium Membership (Upgrade Membership)

• Members who prefer direct downloads without restrictions may upgrade their membership to support the forum.

• Premium membership has multiple tiers, and some tiers are fully exempt from download restrictions.

• Full details for each tier are available on the membership upgrade page.

---

❓ Why was this system introduced?

• Content protection: To reduce silent downloading and external leakage of exclusive files.

• Fair usage: To maintain balance between contributors and download-only users.

• Content enrichment: To encourage members to share useful tools and resources for the benefit of the community.

---

We would like to emphasize that this system is not intended to restrict users, but rather to protect contributors’ efforts and improve overall content quality.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support of DoniaWeB.

Question, I have many Codecyon and ThemeForest file I bought over the years, I can upload the latest version of the files, I didn't upload them so far because most of the files I own, already exist on the Platform. I thought uploading something that exist on the platform would not bring any value to the doniaweb members, can I still upload them?

I'll look for something I have that hasn't been updated to latest version and upload them.

Nonetheless, this is quite fair and reasonable rule.

@mck1non You can transfer the unupdated files to your account, but this requires that you have purchased them yourself.
