Using the File Widget

The Yola File widget makes it easy for you to create a link to a file, so that people can view it on your site or download it.

Here is how to upload a file so that people can view or download it from your site:

1. Drag and drop a file widget onto your page from the sidebar on the right (the icon for this looks like a computer disk).

2. A dialog box will open and you can choose to browse your computer for the file you want to upload, or select a file you have already uploaded to the file manager.
3. When you click "OK" a link to your file will automatically be created. To test that it is working, save and preview your page.

People will then be able to click on your link and download your MS Word file, PDF, PowerPoint presentation, spreadsheet or whatever file you have uploaded.

Hint: To download the file, right click on the link, and then select "save as" from the pop-up menu
(Mac users: ctrl+click).
