How does everyone utilize the member portal?

How has everyone been using the member portal? I ask because I have been unsure about how I like it. However, it may be because of how I am using it. 


My user signs in, but then is not re-directed to a member page. This is “confusing” as every member page I have ever used has automatically re-directed me to members only page. 


What I did was put a link in the footer of my site “User Portal”. That takes my user to a “Members” page I created which has a few buttons for my user to chose from: Client A, Client B, Client C. From there, my clients are able to access pages restricted only for them. 


This seems like a workaround for something that should be easy for Zoho to implement. Once a user /member signs in, they should be taken to a member specific page. 


Am I missing something?

Also, I see forum posts and zoho tips and tricks pages about a “file upload” element. I don’t see that anywhere. It seems like this was something that was available in previous versions but not anymore. Again, unless I am missing something. 


How are you allowing your user to upload files? Best I could think of is to create a form.
