 * Great plugin – works perfectly
 * Is there a way to set the base directory – in other words I only want the file
   manager to start at one folder within uploads as the “root”
 * Not concerned about which users have access / what they can do, just want to 
   limit to a specific folder as the root

 * Hello sflwa,
 * Please open file-manager.php file and edit line 49 and 50 to your desired folder
   location.
 *     ```
       'path'          => ABSPATH . 'your_folder_path', // path to files
       'URL'           => site_url() . 'your_folder_url', // URL to files
       ```
   
 * Thanks
    Aftabul Islam
