Well, let me clear at the start of this post itself that you can't directly upload .pdf, .doc, .exl or other files and folders to a blog hosted by blogger or other free blog platforms. So whats the alternative?

The only alternative for file sharing is to upload your files to free workspaces, a service provided by Google, Microsoft and other leading companies. A workspace is an online place where you can save, access, and share documents and files for online collaboration.

After uploading your files to free webhosts, right click on the file and choose the option "Copy Link Location". Add this link to your post. Whenever a visitor clicks on the link, a popup window will open and ask the visitor to save the file to his computer. Its really very simple.

What Blogger Offers?
Well, if you check your Post editor in blogger, you will find that you can only upload Pictures and Videos. The pictures that you upload in your blog posts are stored in Picass Web album and it has limited web space. The space available in Picass Album is 1024MB.

Similarly the same case is with your videos. Now that you have understood that you have a limited workspace in blogger, you should try to find a free hosting service for you right this moment so that you can keep yourself ready for the time when you run out of free blogger space.
