Building secure, user-friendly membership sites often comes with the challenge of managing file access. How do you provide members with easy access to documents, resources, and downloads while maintaining security and avoiding the complexity of multiple logins? We’ve solved this problem with our new Box CMS module for HubSpot Content Hub.
The Challenge: Secure File Access in Membership Sites
HubSpot’s Content Hub Memberships feature is powerful for creating private, authenticated areas of your website. Whether you’re running a customer portal, partner resource center, or premium content library, members expect seamless access to the files they need. However, traditional file management approaches often fall short:
- Multiple login friction: Requiring users to authenticate separately for file storage creates unnecessary barriers
- Limited file organization: Basic file uploads lack the robust folder structures and permissions that businesses need
- Security concerns: Storing sensitive documents without enterprise-grade security can be risky
- Scalability issues: As your membership base grows, file management becomes increasingly complex
Introducing Our Box CMS Module Solution
Our newly developed Box CMS module for HubSpot Content Hub eliminates these pain points by bringing enterprise file management directly into your membership site experience. Here’s how it works:
This is a running version of the authenticated user in the CMS Site. The ability to hide Login and Signup is also available as a toggle through the Module.
Drop-and-Configure Simplicity
The custom module integrates seamlessly into HubSpot’s drag-and-drop page builder. Content administrators can:
- Add the custom module to any membership site page with a simple drag-and-drop action from the “Custom modules” section
- Configure settings through an intuitive interface within HubSpot’s content editor
- Map Box folders to specific membership groups or access levels
- Customize the user experience with branded styling that matches your site
