How do I add downloadable files into a HTML5 game?

Hello

So I was uploading a game that plays in browser but also with downloadable Windows and Linux files. But I don't know how do I configure the files, yes I know you use the Add External File button or at least I think you use it, but I don't know how to proceed further.

What link do I have to input to the file? Do I upload files separately or included with the html5 zip? Do I have to name the external files the same as the downloadable files? Does the downloadable files have to be zip too inside the whole zip? or folder?

I searched Google, YouTube, and looked at the community for similar issues, help, or tutorial but I got nothing on how to proceed further which made me question if this a common knowledge that don't require tutorials to figure out. Help will definitely be appreciated.

You can simply add more uploads, as explained on your game's edit page:

Upload a ZIP file containing your game. There must be an index.html file in the ZIP. Or upload a .html file that contains your entire game. Learn more
Any additional files you upload will be made available for download. You can apply a minimum price to the project after uploading additional downloadable files.

Hope this helps.

Thank you! It worked, I remember the html file being replaced by the new file so I didn't try adding upload since. Again, thank you so much!
