How do I make an upload a file feature to website?

I would like the users of my website to be able to upload files and then have them stored and seen by other users. I have never done anything like this before, and I would like some guidance. I don't think that there needs to be some kind of database, because this is for personal use, but you would be a better judge of that that me.

What I have tried:

I would like to program this myself with HTML or JavaScript, and not with a website maker or something like Django.

It is not clear from your question which part you have a problem with.

I want to know if there is any easy way to use JavaScript or HTML to make a file upload button

You're going to have to use some kind of server-side technology to accept the file and store it, and also to show what files are available. One you've chosen the server-side tech you want to use (php, asp.net etc) then google "php upload and store file" or "asp.net upload and store file" to get going with the basics.

And make the file input stay on the website so other people can see it.
Sorry if that's a bit wide.

That is going to be more of a server-side question than the site; so you would be looking more for solutions based on those technologies (eg C#, PHP )

It said that you need something called Visual Studio. I use a chromebook. That looks like Microsoft. Are any there tools like that I can use on chrome?

A ChromeBook can run Linux, and Visual Studio Code can run on Linux

Ok. I will see about that.
