I was searching for a solution to host downloadable files that Webflow doesn't allow on its servers, and couldn't find any quick tutorials. So I made one! In this tutorial, I'll demonstrate a simple workaround using Google Drive.
It only takes a few minutes to create a shareable folder in Google Drive, upload files, and assemble download buttons for each file. This technique works for static pages and the Webflow CMS, allowing your users to easily download hosted files.
🔗 Sample Download Link: https://drive.google.com/uc?export=do...
NOTE: You don't have to do the custom code thing like I did. I find it easier since I don't have to remember or manually enter the first half of the link. But you could totally just use a regular Webflow Link/button and enter the full URL yourself 👍 Custom code not required.
