Webflow does not currently support uploading zip files directly within a site. However, there are alternative ways to make digital products, such as zip files, available for download on your Webflow website. Here are a few options:

  1. Cloud storage platforms: You can upload your zip files to cloud storage platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, or Amazon S3. Once uploaded, you can obtain a shareable link and add it as a download link on your Webflow site.

  2. Third-party services: There are several third-party services that specialize in file hosting and sharing. One popular option is Filestack, which allows you to integrate file uploading and hosting directly into your Webflow site. By using their API, you can implement file uploading functionality and generate download links for your zip files.

  3. Custom code solutions: If you're comfortable with coding, you can write custom JavaScript or even use Webflow's built-in CMS to create a download button for your zip files. This involves writing code to handle file uploads, store them on your server or cloud storage, and generate download links.

It's important to note that while Webflow doesn't currently offer native support for uploading zip files, the platform is constantly evolving, and new features are being added regularly. It's worth keeping an eye on Webflow's updates and announcements to see if this functionality becomes available in the future.

In the meantime, the aforementioned methods should help you make your digital products, such as zip files, easily accessible for download on your Webflow website.
