How to add your document library to GoDaddy

Adding your hosted document library to GoDaddy Websites + Marketing comes down to dropping in an HTML section. Here is the full walkthrough.

Before you begin: Both custom HTML and publishing call for a paid GoDaddy Websites + Marketing plan, and the library only becomes visible after your site goes live.

Step 1: Copy your embed code

Log in to your hosted dashboard, open the Libraries screen, and click Copy code next to whichever library you plan to show. What you copy will look much like the example below, but be sure to use the actual code from your own dashboard rather than this one:

<iframe src="https://your-library.documentlibrary.app/?dlp_embed=1" title="Document library" style="width:100%;border:0;height:600px;" loading="lazy"></iframe>
<script src="https://your-library.documentlibrary.app/?dlp_embed_resize=1" async></script>

Step 2: Open the page for your library

In the GoDaddy site editor, move to the page that will display the library, or add a new one from the site navigation and name it something like Document Library. Scroll down to the exact spot where you want the library to show.

Step 3: Add an HTML section

Click Add Section, search for HTML, and click Add. GoDaddy then inserts an HTML section that includes a Custom Code field.

Step 4: Paste your embed code

Confirm the code type reads Custom Code, drop the snippet from Step 1 into the field, and click Done.

Step 5: Publish and view your library

Click Publish at the top right and open the page to find your document library, ready for visitors to search, filter by category, and preview or download each document. One thing to expect: while you are still editing, GoDaddy often displays a placeholder where the HTML section lives. That is normal, and the real library renders on the published page.
