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://metadataconsulting.blogspot.com/2019/03/OneDrive-2019-Direct-File-Download-URL-Maker.html is a tool that will
convert the Microsoft OneDrive embedded code into a direct downloadable link.
The link can be shared with anyone, they don't have to have a Microsoft account.
I discovered and created this tool back in 2004.
How this Tool works:-
- Just Copy the Embedded code from your OneDrive. An example

- Click on Get Download Link button
- Then the Direct Download link will appear in the box bellow, so click on the copy button.
