How to let clients download a zip file from my blog?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi,

    I have a blog running, and I want visitors to be able to click on a link and download a zip or rar file.

    First I don’t see how will I upload the file cause Allowed Media are only pictures and document extensions?

    Is it really not possible to have a zip download link on my blog?

    NOTE I don’t have premium, so the question is regarding free blog version.

    Please advice. Thank You !

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    zip files should also be supported with a plain space upgrade, since your account is older than Sept 1, 2014 you should be able to buy the 10gb space upgrade for $20.-/yr and not the Cable TV Up-sell bundle for $99.-/yr for new accounts.

    The other option is to host the files on a file sharing service such as Dropbox and then have links to the files on a file sharing service. There are several services out there, I think dropbox is no charge for the first GB or so as are others, maybe Google+ also

    Sorry I have dropbox but it came with my phone and I can’t remember anything about the account,
