BuddyDrive gives BuddyPress members a personal file area with privacy controls (private, friends, group, password protected, public) and group sharing. Files land as the buddydrive-file custom post type with privacy in postmeta and mime types in standard attachment metadata. The default surface is a per-profile file area and an admin moderation queue, which is right for landing on an individual member and not enough for understanding how the community is using member storage as a whole.

SleekView Charts reads wp_posts filtered to post_type=buddydrive-file, joined with wp_postmeta for privacy and group assignment, plus wp_users for display_name. A Number card counts total files. A Pie shows the privacy mix across private, friends, group and public uploads. A Bar ranks members by upload count for moderation watch lists or storage outreach. An Area trends new files per day from post_date.

Filters on the underlying files audit table (privacy, group, mime type, date window) narrow every chart card on the dashboard in one click. The cards read post and postmeta data BuddyDrive already writes, so no second tracker is introduced and no extra storage instrumentation is required.

BuddyDrive captures something genuinely useful: per-member file storage with privacy levels and group sharing stored as buddydrive-file posts and postmeta. The default surface tucks that signal into per-profile file areas, which is right for landing on an individual member and unhelpful for almost everything moderators, managers and operations do at the community level. A total-files KPI anchors monthly storage reports, a privacy pie surfaces how the community is actually using the privacy controls, a top-uploader bar produces real moderation and outreach shortlists and an Area on post_date tells the team whether campaigns actually drive uploads.

Same wp_posts rows, charted instead of scattered across profiles, which is the difference between watching member storage and managing it as a product.
