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.

- DeletedJan 29, 2018Well 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.

THANK YOU! It worked for me like a charm. For those who are looking for a solution to get a direct link of onedrive to work with Qlikview (like me), this solution was the light at the end of the tunnel .
Thank you very much for your solution, it was simple and smart! And still works in 2021!
