Hi Thunkers, With the release of Thunkable v458, we are excited to share with a new set of files blocks. The Download File within app blocks enable your app’s users to download files used in your app on request, ensuring a better offline user experience. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/a/1aa2708f8c06d508d8f2d0629c974ed9aed1234b.png) > **[Files Blocks | Drag and Drop | Thunkable Docs](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/app-features/files-blocks#download-a-file-within-your-app)** Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! ---

You can’t Upload Excel Files in Cloudinary, so most Probably, It won’t Download ---

You can try uploading any type of CSV file in Cloudinary Manually, then if it uploads, it would probably work through API too ---

First in Beta, Removed, and then Again Published. But Anyways, a necessary add-on, as it was a lengthy process to Code a New HTML Extension for this Job with JS and then to Integrate it in Thunkable. ---
