Is it possible to store zip files on WordPress and make links to them such that readers can download the files? I am thinking specifically of zip files that contain Mathematica applications (notebooks, computer code and documentation) and which may be 5 to 15 MB in size.

Or should such files be stored at Dropbox (say) and links made from WordPress?

  • You should upload in Dropbox and provide link in WordPress.

  • If you use a service that provides file downloads (whether that's a commerce system or a simpler plugin), you could store on your server and just use that link for what the user has access to.

You can upload the files to the media library. Then copy the links within an entry or wherever you prefer. Clicking on the link, the user can download it.

  • Many thanks for all the answers. If I go the WordPress route I'll try the Media Library and if I have trouble I'll fall back on Dropbox.

Yes you can do that. But it will create link like yoursite.com/wp-content/date/month/file.zip

You can even do this by plugin Download manager : https://wordpress.org/plugins/download-manager/

It will be easy to use and maintain
