If you are using the classic text editor in your site, you can directly paste this in the page content.

[upf_upload]
If you like to display only Upload Box to your users, use this shortcode. 
[PRO] This shortcode accepts an optional attribute “id”. You can pass a folder ID to it and the file will be uploaded to that folder if the user has upload access to it. If there is no id attribute, the files will be uploaded to all files under the my-files section of that user.
[upf_display]
If you like to display a user’s uploaded and shared files only. This works like a gallery. This will not display any folder but will display all files from the folders. 
This is a limited shortcode and doesn’t offer much features. But if you just want to display all files that a user has uploaded and the files that he has given access to, then it’s a good one.
[upf_selected_files] [PRO]
Use this shortcode to display a list of selected files and folders that users have access to. 
This shortcode accepts 2 parameters called “id” and “limit_folder_view” where id is a required parameter.
