  I would like to upload my files into a virtual data room on my wordpress website and allow access to those files to clients who subscribe to my service. Can this be accomplished on wordpress?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Yes, you can do that with a Premium Content block: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/premium-content-block/

  And, we have more recommendations for running a site like this over at https://memberships.blog/

  Is there a way to add a virtual data room or content library, with PDF files categorized into folders and search functionality, into the WordPress website? I didn’t see any of that on the links suggested.

  I will require a member-only, PDF file library or data room containing several gigs of PDF files. I would also like the files to be viewed on the website only, for security purposes. I don’t want unauthorized sharing of my content.

  Is there a way to accomplish this on WordPress. I am not sure and it is keeping me from pulling the trigger on an annual plan.

  Please let me know. Thanks!

  To do what you’re describing with the Premium Content block, you’d start by uploading an allowed file type https://wordpress.com/support/accepted-filetypes/ following the steps at https://wordpress.com/support/uploading-documents/

  Then, your Premium Content block can include whatever you’d like, including links to members-only files: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/premium-content-block/

  Can you please share an example website with a content library/virtual data room, search functionality, and built-in PDF viewer? The link you sent is very high-level and doesn’t demonstrate any of the features I am looking for.

  We do not have an example available for exactly what you’re describing, but you’re welcome to start work on the site and see how it goes for you.

  The Premium Content Block requires a paid plan, any paid plan, and we do offer full refunds within the time windows detailed at https://wordpress.com/support/refunds/

  Will I have access to a technical team to help me build the website with all the features I require? If not, this will just be a waste of time, as I would have to request a refund shortly after paying for the plan. I am talking about live technical help…
