Why can I not download an image I searched for?

I can't seem to figure out how to download an item from a search result. When I browse for an item, say an image, I can select it and the download link appears in the task bar. I can even open it...

OneDrive for Business

Hi PhilineVon,

I'm getting the same. It looks like the download button has been forgotten or maybe it is still on its way.

It might be useful to get this added as a uservoice.

Thansk for confirming Pieter Veenstra

Someone else has already done that it seems. Please do vote for it:

  Suffering the same, but yet to find a solution. Seems similar to this:

    This ability to download files after searching for them is important. As many users upload many files and folders to OneDrive, they will be searching for them again and need the ability to download the files once they find it. I have users in my environment that upload lots of images to OneDrive and when they finally find the what they are looking for, they are forced to search again if they need to download.
