Hello,

You can block downloads in SharePoint Online and Ondrive ,

-Conditional Access Policy 

 

Control access from unmanaged devices:

Microsoft recommends you protect content in SharePoint sites with sensitive and highly-regulated content with device access controls. You do this by creating a policy that specifies the level of protection and the sites to apply the protection to.

  • Sensitive sites: Allow browser-only access. This prevents users from editing and downloading files.
  • Highly regulated sites: Block access from unmanaged devices.

See "Block or limit access to specific SharePoint site collections or OneDrive accounts" in this article: Control access from unmanaged devices.

    Great answer.  Also worth pointing out that Conditional Access requires a minimum of Azure AD Premium P1 licence, and to use session controls you will also need to be licensed for Cloud App Security.
