well you need a database where files are tied down to a user, create a form upload to allow users to upload files, store them on your server and store the link in the database.
One thing to be aware of it is the file size, if it is too large then the file upload will fail as script excution time will be exceeded.. also try to make sure that you store the files outside your public folder so that users cannot navigate to them i.e. site.com/members/files/dd.pdf because they could then upload something malicious and navigate to that url and "run" it on your site.
