Hiding File
Two steps are necessary:
1) Code Must Have Specific Sharing Type
When creating the code, ensure its sharing type is either File or External File.
File - To upload a file
Choosing file content type for restricting External File - To specify the URL of a file
Choosing external link type for restricting
2) Hiding Content
Use the shortcode [cmicca_access_code] to show the Access Code box allowing the user to download the file.
Example
In this example, the post will contain only the Access Code:
Multiple Download
This feature is available since the version 1.3.10.
There is a way to create one code for accessing to all files.
While creating the code, when you choose File Upload or File Link you can see there the checkbox Allow to multiple file download. When you check it don't choose the file for uploading and don't put a link for a file - these fields must be empty.
How to use it: when the code is created, you can place a box with accessing the code on any page using the shortcode in a few different ways.
First way
To use the shortcode [cmicca_access_code] with an attribute file="ID", where ID is ID of attached file. There also must be a closing shortcode. Note: between opening and closing shortcodes mustn't be anything.
Example:

Second way
To place file's ID between opening and closing shortcodes. Attribute "file" should have "1" as a value in the opening shortcode.
Example:
