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.
