Tell us what you are trying to do?
when user becomes a member and uploads a file for other members to download, i need this file only accessible to download if they are a member themselves currently if a member shares the URL then anyone with it can gain that file.

Is there any documentation that you are following? no just guessing....lol

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site? as mentioned above

Hi Michael,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Toolset isn't able to handle a case like this.

However based on your explanation it seems that you need a plugin that can manage your media library. A plugin like the one below should be able to help you .
https://wordpress.org/plugins/prevent-direct-access/

This should allow you to prevent guests from having access to the files that are stored on your site.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
