There are a couple of great ways to accomplish this. You can use something like WooCommerce to manage file downloads , or you can use WordPress only and manage files using a WordPress Download manager plugin. You can upload files to your media library whenever you want. However, making them available for download is another process. You can direct someone to that URL and provide them a download link, or tell them to download the file manually from the same link.
Either way, you need to take extra steps that are not necessarily needed in order to make files available for download. Furthermore, what if you want to create a download button and make the link easier to view. This will involve some extra code work to create the button. There is an easier way to do this using a smooth, lightweight, easy-to-use plugin.
