Download Monitor Gravity Forms Lock adds form-based access control to file downloads managed by Download Monitor. Visitors must complete a specified Gravity Forms form before they can access downloadable files, enabling lead capture through content gating.

- Configurable per-download form assignment
- Lead capture through required form completion

Lead Generation
Content gating is a proven lead generation technique. By requiring visitors to submit their name, email, and other details before accessing valuable downloads — whitepapers, templates, tools, reports — you build a qualified contact list while providing value.
Flexible Configuration
Assign different forms to different downloads. A product brochure might require just an email address, while a detailed report could require full contact details. Each download can use a different Gravity Forms form tailored to the content's value and your data collection needs.

Download Monitor Amazon S3 extends the Download Monitor plugin to serve files directly from Amazon S3 storage. This offloads bandwidth from your web server while maintaining download tracking and access control through your WordPress site.

Scalability
By serving files from S3, your WordPress server handles only the page requests while Amazon infrastructure delivers the actual files. This is useful for large files, high-traffic download pages, and sites distributing software or media that would otherwise strain server resources.
