On the other hand, you also have the option to use the media library to share files. You need to access the Media option located in the menus in WordPress, to be able to upload any file via the media library.
Now you just have to copy the URL of this file and place it in a button or link so that visitors can download the file. But also remember that you can insert links to a Google Drive or MEGA account so that they can download the files you want to download.
