[Read practical details](#faq) 05\. --- Questions ## Questions before you build How catalog scope, allowances, release timing, cancellation, and file protection work together. 01 #### Can a membership unlock my entire file catalog?+ Yes. An all-access perk can cover every eligible Fileflare asset or a defined group, such as a particular file type. New matching files can join the library automatically as your catalog grows. 02 #### Can members choose a set number of downloads each month?+ Yes. A free-download perk gives members an allowance to claim from an eligible pool. For recurring plans, that allowance can reset when the membership renews. 03 #### Can I release files over time?+ Yes. Specific file access can begin immediately or after a set amount of time has passed since the member joined. 04 #### What happens when a membership ends?+ You choose whether Fileflare access ends with the membership or whether members retain the files they received while active. 05 #### Does membership access prevent every kind of file sharing?+ No digital delivery system is absolute DRM. Fileflare adds practical controls such as login requirements, download limits, IP restrictions, expirations, fraud blocking, and PDF stamping to discourage sharing and trace misuse. start with a clear promise Make a place worth belonging to.
