    Here is the problem:

    I am setting up an ecommerce website, but I don't know where to store my larger software files so that my customers can get a link after purchasing and down load their product. I know that I can upload my ebooks to my site, but after while it will slow my site down. Is there any cheap safe and secure solution where I can obtain a link to deliver the downloads goods. I am using woo commerce. I asked ejunkie but the say since I not using their buttons, I can't store any of my file there. Can someone point me in the right direction? Also, I really don't want to use any services link paylodz because I am trying to market my business not theirs. Any help would be great!

    Sure thing. You can host assets anywhere really. I just figured I should check woo first. I was fiddling with a dropbox plugin that sorta did the same thing as well but the downloads I tested were a tad slow.

    You can use the CDN(Content deliverable network) for easy and speedy download.

    I would suggest Dropbox. Will be a best option for your business. Can easily upload and download data from there in a matter of seconds.

    I found a couple of solutions that might be able to help you out. Didn't do anything fancy to find these -- just a simple Google search -- so I hope they're helpful and not stuff you've already seen!

    Distribly is a PayLoadz alternative, and they have a 10% commission fee for each sale.
    https://www.distribly.com/payloadz-alternative.html

    This page has three other alternatives to PayLoadz, none of which are Distribly. Nice!

    Happy selling!
