Overview
Want to share downloadable content with your website visitors? Use the file widget to upload a file that your website visitors can download with the click of a button. Share flyers, ebooks, and other documents by having them available for download.

Add the Upload a File widget onto your responsive website. To learn more about adding widgets to your website, see Adding Widgets.
Once the file widget is placed, the Content Editor will appear. Here, you can change the text on the button and add files. To add files, click the + File button.
The Uploaded Files window will appear. To add files, click on Upload New File. You can add multiple files to upload simultaneously.
Drag your files or click the 'Choose files' button to add files or folders. Files can also be downloaded from Dropbox, Google Drive, a link, or Gmail.
When the files have been selected, click Upload.
You will be notified when the upload is complete. The downloadable file can now be seen on the Content Editor. The file is ready for visitors to download.
Open the Design Editor by clicking the design tab on the top left corner to change the layout, style, and spacing. Edit the button design that appears on your website using the layout section.
