Is it OK to download add-ons from prodictivityboost.net
Trying to share files between two PC's on a private Ethernet wired connection, PC to PC. I will be using a WiFi Internet connection for download. This is the site: https://productivityboost.net/aw-udlg4?utm_campaign=21545889105&utm_custom1=166005092317&utm_term=&utm_content=778249384211&utm_custom2=router-network.com&utm_custom3=&utm_custom4=d&utm_source=Google&gad_source=5&gad_campaignid=21545889105&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_tui6sO8lQMVv00IBB1EfTTCEAEYASAAEgKge_D_BwE

Just quickly glancing the fine print: "… for quick access to productivity tools via the favicon on your toolbar and get web search results by Yahoo®." — is a crystal clear sign of browser hijack patterns — they will be constantly changing your home pages, search providers, injecting ads and other revenue sources in everything you open, might be collecting personal data and stealing sensitive information that were supposed to stay just between you and the websites you visit, not ending up with a random advertising intruder.
It was a good call to ask ahead. A quick sanity check shows the typical signs of unwanted software that would be extremely hard to get rid of later: AVOID.
(I'm not following the actual use case you'd want to download this for — what you describe sounds like a built–in operating system functionality you don't need any third partly installers for, esp. no browser addons.)
