Does Copilot generate a clickable downlink link?

Hi, Community:

 

I have been experimenting with the Notebooks feature within Copilot.  My goal is to get Copilot to generate a file based on data from a referenced file.  Copilot does all of this beautifully.  My challenge is: when I prompt Copilot to provide a download link, it provides me a URL to a file (for example: 📂 sandbox:/mnt/data/Exchange%20rates%20to%20be%20populated%20-%20USD%20only.xlsx).  The URL is not clickable.  I've also tried different ways to get to the file with no success.

Has anyone had success downloading a file from Copilot from Notebooks?

For reference, this is the feature I am using:

 Thanks!

Van

    Hi, this is a known issue which Microsoft are working on fixing

    M365 Admins can monitor the Service Health issue here: https://admin.cloud.microsoft/?#/servicehealth/:/alerts/CP1116386  (screenshot below)

     

    There's a post about it here too: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/3145165/m365-copilot-created-file-placed-at-unreachable-ur

    As Krzysztof28​ mentioned, there is no way to download the file. I would however submit a thumbs down feedback so the backend Engineering team is aware of this. You have the option of converting the thumbs down submission into a case for them to work on as well. Let us know how it goes!

    Hey,

    There is no way to download files. Because of this I insulted Copilot many times yesterday;)
    MS, shame on you!
