You can setup a password protected page on your WordPress website that let’s you make a ‘branded’ place where you can give clients access to files and information. The following steps assume that you have logged into your WordPress dashboard as an administrator and clicked on Pages > Add Page.
01 – Add a new page and name it something like A1
02 – Put a welcome line of text in the page
03 – Find the file you want to share with the client in your dropbox and click the link icon to share it
04 – Click on the Get Link button to copy the link to your copy-paste clipboard
05 – Type in a phrase that describes the file you are linking to and highlight it and click on the chainlink icon
06 – Paste the dropbox link into the URL field and press Add Link
07 – Now you have a page with the link on it so click the Edit link next to Visibility Public
08 – Change the Visibility to Password Protected
09 – Enter a suitable password and click OK
10 – Click Publish
11 – The page address to give your client is next to the Permalink you can click view page to see it
12 – The password protected page will have a box to login on it
13 – Once you enter the password the page reloads and you see the information published
Please understand that this does not password protect the files in dropbox, it is only the page that is password protected. So if your client logs into the page they could share the dropbox link with someone directly.
