Get direct download link of a file in OneDrive for Business
I use "Get Link" button and it gives me a link (like below) which will open the file online. How can I get a link for direct file download? Thanks.

Well I just took a logical guess and it totally worked lol.... so do this.
Use "Get link", then use "People with existing access" to get the direct link to the file.
Then, the url will be direct path to https://org.sharepoint.com/personal/user_org/folder/filename.ext?d=oiuqjaweorihjlkj
Now, just remove everything after the ? and put in download=1 and magic happens.
https://org.sharepoint.com/personal/user_org/folder/filename.ext?download=1
Cool to see after all this time. You Probabaly can just do &download=1 without removing the unique tail end of the document url.
Hi ChrisWebbTech , matesfx and Everyone,
It seems to be not working for me,
I've shared links from my personal as well as business account and adding &download=1 or ?download=1 is not downloading the file directly.
