You should look at Paperclip gem https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip

It is very easy to use and allows to upload files.

paperclip is a great way to upload the files.  downloading the files 
shouldn''t be too difficult although the details can be specific to
where
you have your site deployed and how the file system is managed by the 
upload choices.

on one site i have some static files that the users need to download.  
these are not uploaded content so i can just put them in /public/docs and 
create a link to them on the page.  the browser just knows to download them 
when a user clicks on the links.

from the sounds of it you''ll probably want to create a model entry for
each
file that is uploaded, upload them to AWS or something like that and make 
those links point to the AWS instance of the file.  I imagine that would 
work.

good luck,

Max
