Additionally, it enables adding downloads to OpenCart directly from a specified folder on the server (auto add feature). This way you can upload multiple files with FTP and have them added with just one click. This is especially useful for adding lots of files or files which are larger than PHP maximum file upload size limit.
In the admin panel you can associate downloadable files with the product as usual. Only files marked as "free" will show up on product page (in store front) and can be downloaded from there. You can mark products as "free" in the Downloads section (Catalog -> Downloads). On the same page you can add multiple files from a directory to the OpenCart download system with just one click.
On the product view page a new tab will appear (named Downloads, but the name can be changed) which contains the downloadable material.
