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.

https://ACCOUNT-URL.memberful.com/account/downloads/get/1234

When a member clicks a download, we create a temporary link that expires after 10 minutes. This prevents link sharing. Once the link expires, the member will have to click the download link again (from your site or their account) if they want to download the file.
