How to create a page on which users can upload files?

Question

Maybe it's a question of logic. I'm new to Drupal.

Drupal 7: I want to have a page 'upload' which should be displayed in the main menu, on that page users should be able to upload files (pdf etc), which afterwards will be listed on a second page 'downloads'.

I created a content type 'uploads' with all the fields I need (title, description, file, tags). How do I get that content type inside a static page? Until now I can only access that uploading process when I hit 'add new content' on the home page.

To create page 'downloads' you can use Views module and create page that contain listing of nodes of your content type.

To create 'Upload page' you can just add link to node/add/YOUR-CONTENT-TYPE to main menu.
