The protected share starts opening for them.
How it works
Membership-gated sharing, wherever your files live.
Start with files in a supported cloud storage service. Create a protected link for a file or folder, choose the allowed Patreon tiers or Memberful passes, and let subscribers authenticate when they open it.
These are illustrative concepts, not screens from a released product. Storage provider integrations are in development.
01
Select a file or folder you already host.
Connect a supported cloud storage provider using its Exoshar integration. Setup varies by provider; the Google Drive add-on is still in development.
- Work with existing files and folders.
- No copying, re-uploading, or synchronization.
- Keep organizing and updating your files with your storage provider.

Post your protected link.
Put the Exoshar link in a Patreon post, Memberful email, release notes, or anywhere you normally announce your content.
- A single file starts downloading after authentication.
- A folder opens a read-only browser with individual file downloads.
- No bulk ZIP generation and no separate Exoshar account for subscribers.

Conceptual sharing flow
Membership changes
Keep the link. Access follows the member.
Subscribers don't need Exoshar accounts, and creators don't need to maintain per-subscriber cloud permission lists.
They can no longer authorize new downloads through that link.
The link stays posted, but access no longer authorizes.
Same link, current rules.The original files stay with your storage provider.
Where Exoshar fits
Keep the storage. Add membership to the share.
Your storage provider keeps the files. Patreon or Memberful handles memberships. Exoshar connects the two for protected, entitlement-checked delivery.
| What you need | Ordinary cloud link | Exoshar-protected link |
|---|---|---|
| Keep organizing files in your cloud | Yes | Yes |
| Normal file and folder sharing | Yes | Yes, with protected links |
| Patreon / Memberful tier checks | Not built in | Built into the Exoshar link |
| Current membership verified on access | Not built in | Yes |
| Separate Exoshar subscriber account | Not applicable | Not required |
| Creator migrates files to another provider | No | No |
This compares planned membership verification with ordinary link sharing. Provider-specific controls and availability vary; Exoshar cannot stop a subscriber from redistributing a file after download.
Your cloud. Your way to share.
Exoshar is being designed for multiple cloud storage providers. Google Drive's Marketplace integration is in development and MEGA is under evaluation. Provider releases and setup methods will be announced separately; no public installation is available yet.
