SleekView Charts for FileBird
FileBird stores its folder tree in dedicated tables (fbv folders and the attachment-to-folder join) and keeps attachment metadata in the standard WordPress tables. SleekView Charts reads those tables and turns FileBird organisation into a reporting dashboard.

A FileBird dashboard built from the fbv tables
FileBird writes its folder tree to a dedicated fbv table and links each attachment to a folder through an fbv_attachment_folder join, leaving attachment metadata, file size, dimensions, MIME type, and upload date in the standard wp_posts and wp_postmeta rows. The default admin replaces the media grid with a folder browser, which is excellent for organising assets, but turns library-wide shape questions into a folder-by-folder walk through the tree.
SleekView Charts joins the fbv tables to attachments and turns the answers into chart cards on one saved dashboard. A Number card sums total bytes across the entire library. A Donut splits attachments by MIME type so the image, video, and document mix is obvious. A Horizontal Bar ranks folders by total bytes for storage audits. An Area chart traces uploads per day across the chosen window so campaigns and release cycles show up as visible spikes.
This is not a replacement for FileBird's folder browser. The tree continues to own navigation, drag-and-drop reassignment, and the underlying join writes through FileBird's API. SleekView Charts adds the reading layer the folder browser does not lay out side by side, scoped per role and embeddable on a frontend page for stakeholders.

Comparison
Default FileBird admin vs SleekView Charts
Default FileBird
- Folder browser hides per-folder size and type mix until you click in
- No headline number for total library size across folders
- Type mix donut needs a manual scan through the folder tree
- Upload rhythm over time is not visualised anywhere
- Top folders by storage usage need a CSV export to compare
SleekView Charts
- Read the fbv folder and fbv_attachment_folder tables joined to attachments
- Group by folder, MIME type, uploader, and upload date in chart cards
- Sum file_size across folders for storage leaderboards
- Saved chart views scoped per role for marketing, ops, and finance
- Embed any saved chart view on a frontend page with role-based access
Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for FileBird
Folder shape on one screen
Replace the per-folder click-through with a dashboard that answers shape questions directly. Total size, type mix, top folders, and upload rhythm on one screen.
Storage audits without exports
The top-folders bar and the total-size KPI answer storage questions in seconds, so housekeeping happens before backup windows and disk limits force the conversation.
Read the upload rhythm
The daily area chart turns the raw attachment stream into a readable rhythm so campaign cycles and contributor patterns surface without manual log review.
Audience
Who builds FileBird charts dashboards with SleekView
Marketing teams
Open a per-campaign folder dashboard to confirm the asset queue is sized correctly, with the type donut catching missing video and the upload area chart showing the build-up to launch.
Site auditors
Watch the total-size KPI and the top-folders bar to catch storage hotspots before they hit hosting limits, with the type mix donut flagging unexpected PDF or video accumulation.
Editorial leads
Combine folder grouping with uploader filters to see which contributor is uploading to which project, useful for accessibility audits and content reviews.
The bigger picture
Why FileBird's folder tree still needs a dashboard
FileBird is one of the most installed folder plugins for a reason. Its folder tree gives marketing and editorial teams the navigation the default media library was missing, and the dedicated fbv tables keep the join fast even on large libraries. The trade-off is that the folder tree becomes the only navigation, and answering questions across folders means walking through them one by one.
SleekView Charts keeps the folder tree intact and adds a chart-level reading layer on top. Marketing sees per-campaign folder shape, ops sees storage hotspots, finance sees the upload rhythm against campaign budgets. The folder browser and the dashboard are complementary, the tree is for navigation and reassignment, and the chart dashboard is for storage audits, contributor reviews, and the operational questions a tree cannot answer in one screen.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for FileBird
No. FileBird continues to own the folder tree, drag-and-drop reassignment, and the fbv table writes. SleekView Charts is a reading surface that reads the same tables and the attachment postmeta, and turns them into a dashboard inside admin.
Yes. FileBird Lite and FileBird Pro both write to the same fbv folder and join tables, so the charts work the same way regardless of edition. Pro features like custom folder colours and per-user folder access surface as additional chart dimensions when they are active.
Yes. SleekView writes through FileBird's API rather than the join table directly, so folder change hooks fire normally. The folder tree updates its counts and any third-party integration listening for folder reassignment runs the same way it would from the FileBird UI.
Yes. WordPress writes the post_author on every attachment, and SleekView Charts surfaces that as a chartable dimension. A Bar card grouped by uploader gives a per-contributor view, useful for accessibility audits and contributor reviews.
No. Cards paginate and aggregate against the indexes the fbv tables and wp_postmeta already use, with SleekView caching aggregation results between renders. Even libraries with hundreds of thousands of attachments keep dashboards quick.
Yes. Saved chart views support role-based visibility so marketing, ops, and finance each see only the dashboards you allow.
Yes. Any saved chart view can be embedded on a frontend page with role-based access, so storage owners and stakeholders read the dashboard without WordPress admin.
Yes. WooCommerce product images are attachments like any other, so they appear in the dashboard with their folder, size, and type. Filter by folder to audit product photography per category, or sort by size to catch oversized hero shots.
