  In this shortcode key, secret, region, bucket,access_folder are optional to use in the shortcode. The main objective of adding these options is to lower the dependency of General Settings of the Digital Ocean. You can use any other Digital Ocean bucket details here. In this way, you can connect multiple Digital Ocean buckets using this shortcode

• [wp_file_manager_digital_ocean_admin] 
  Using this shortcode you can create an admin view on your wordpress page/post.
