Depending on how many members you have, you might be able to get this method to work by creating a different group for each individual member. You could detect which group a member belongs to and show only downloads assigned to that group. If you have more than a few members at a time, it might be best to use something besides EE to deliver files to those members. If you haven't checked out box.net, I would highly recommend it for file sharing. I've also been using an open-source project management system called Collabtive and have been really impressed with it so far. <a href="http://nettuts.com/tutorials/tools-and-tips/organize-your-team-with-collabtive/" rel="nofollow">Here's a great tutorial</a> for setting that up if you're interested! Let me know if you find a better solution . . . I'm about to start developing a site that will require similar functionality and I would like to hear which approach you choose! Hi Mike,

This and your iphone tutorial are GREAT! I like the secure downloads idea. However my members will need a secure downloads area per member. My members are real estate sales customers. So I need to be able to get them for example real estate contracts. and docs. But have access has to be limited to just that member. Does that make sense? Could your strategy work in this way? Kind regards, Mike Hi Brandon,

However, I am more than happy to offer a web-based version if that is what you're interested in. Hi Danna,
