I can not find a way to use a hyperlink to a large, local zip-file or pdf, since uploading is limited to 10MB.
I see no logical reason why the hyperlink files have to be uploaded in the first place.
I am presently offering a download of a software package (demo) around 100 MB in zipped size.

I intend to use the present web hosting and export the NicePage project as HTML.

Do you have a solution to this, I am certainly not the only one to have this issue.

If you have access to the host folders, you can create a folder there to hold the files you want to give access to.
FileZilla would work.
Then create a link on your site to that file.
Example: http://www.website.com/files/software.zip

Hi Sam,

Hi Juha,

If you want the opportunity for your visitors to download files of more than 10MB.
Please add an HTML element to your website. See the picture below

By editing the code area you can make a button or a link, so your visitors can download the file.

<form method="get" action="http://www.website.com/files/bigfile.zip">
<button type="submit">Download!</button>
</form>
<p>
<a href="file.doc">Download!</a>
</p>

Hopefully it helps.

If you have other questions, please feel free to contact us.
