In this article, we talk about one of our Indie Website block types: File Block

Updated over 4 months ago

We offer a block type called File block, which allows you to create a text link to a media file, such as a PDF or Word document, with an optional download button and print.

When you first add the File block to a page, it will provide options to upload a file or pick one from your Media Library.

The default view of the File block with options to upload or choose from the Media Library.

The options are:

  • Click the “Upload” button to upload a file from your computer or device.

  • Click the “Media Library” option to add a file that’s already uploaded to your site.

After adding a file, the file name will be shown as a clickable link with a Download button next to it:
