There are multiple ways to do that. First is to pass your model through views and reference the files in template as {{mymodel.filefield.url}}, you can also use loop or if statements or whatever is your method of display in template.

Other method, less automated is to hardcode it and write HTML tag with path to the file. To manage your static files in your project please see:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/howto/static-files/

You can also use file manager and custom FileFields and package described methods:

Hope this helps.

In your templates, you can do this:

{% for f in files %}
<a href="{{ f.file.url }}">Download file</a>
{% endfor %}

You would just need to link that file somewhere on your template.

If your files upload to 'example.site/static/file.txt'

Then in your template make an anchor tag refer to that destination

<a href="/static/file.txt" download>Download</a>
