    Hi ViktorGraf 

    As you can see in this image, with the "Read" permission the users can download files

     

     

    The main problem is that with "Restricted View" all works fine in desktop App but not in mobile App. For this reason I am looking for another way to handle the downloads.

      Best way for the scenario you have described is to take a look at:
      1) Conditional access when accessing content in Teams
      2) Or applying sensitivity labels to Teams that can also restrict what can be done with documents stored in Teams
