A simple dashboard block for file download

A simple dashboard block for file download

As an administrator I want to expose a dashboard block to all users which contains files (pdf, word, etc.) that any logged in users sees and can view and download the file from.

Any good suggestions? I installed the sharing cart to evaluate, but it does not appear in my block menu to add.

The HTML block  (see HTML_block)

The editor will allow you to upload files and provide links. You can (well I think you can) position it in the main column of the Dashboard. See Dashboard

Thanks Howard. This works good/great. A few more steps than I visualizing but it works. I had uploaded some files to link to from the repository, but when I went to link to them, they werent there. So I added them again. Tweeky but it works. Thanks again.
