Files for download

I have something that I feel is a fairly simple idea, but I’m trying to figure out if there is a right way to do it.

We are trying to add links to two pdf files to our home page. It’s perhaps as simple as coding a link and uploading the files, but does WordPress have a designated folder for something like this? It seems like something that should be there, but I can’t find it.

Also, is there a better way to do this that I’m not thinking of?
