How members access downloads

Members can access all their downloads when they log in to their account. For ease of use, they can sort them alphabetically or by the date they were added.
Access Downloads
You can use our WordPress shortcodes to directly link to downloads on your site. Alternatively, you can use the URL below, but make sure to replace the last four digits with the ones for your download found in the Downloads tab.
When a member clicks a download, Memberful generates a temporary link that expires after 10 minutes. This helps prevent unauthorized sharing. Members can click the download link again to generate a new link if needed.
