However, when adding a downloadable product, Hikashop ONLY allows files uploaded via hikashop, there is no way to add files that on external servers, such as "cloud storage". I think this is not good. My suggestions to improve this feature: Allow to directly input an external URL as the path for the downloadable product. Than means, hikashop should allows both LOCAL and REMOTE files for downloadable products. On the "adding files" dialog, you can show two Tabs, one for local files which will be select and upload, or drag and drop to upload; one for remote files, which will be directly input the exact full URL. Why we need such a feature? Because if you sell a lot of files, especially very big files, you will want to store them on remote cloud storage, which will save both disk space and band width for you. And since many cloud storage has "whitelist to prevent leaking/hotlinking", such an URL will not do any harm to your profit. Thank you.")

For example if you make four Characteristics with IDs 45,46,47 and 48 which are automatically made you will get in your product exactly these numbers as an addition to your product code. Since product codes and characteristics may be same among 1000 of products it is impossible to use this option as you will never get the code combination you need for your actually product as the system adds its own ID for each Characteristics. So if I have a base code 400055 and have three characteristics (23,24), (56,57,58), (77,78,79) the code would be 400055_23_56_77, 400055_24_56_77, 400055_23_57_77 .. etc etc ... In case you have another product, like say 400059 but with the same subcodes you are in a dead end! you will be forced to use the IDs that the system will have made for the latest Characteristics like (299,300,301), (38,39,40) etc etc. It is very common that different companies have for their subitems the same code but different names. Of course you can manually change the produced code in the "Manage Variants" but then it wont reflect the Characteristics in the product page anymore because there will be no association anymore.")
