Auto download link

Brass Contributor

I'm adding an excel document into a document library and want to create a link on a page that automatically downloads the file rather than it automatically opening in Excel online. After some research I saw that you could change the URL of the share link to it had 'download.aspx' but the original didn't have the 'guestaccess.aspx' that is mentioned. Anyone got any suggestions?

Nevermind, I found out if I had in ?download=1 in the URL it will work.

Yup. You probably found another post I replied in with that trick ;)
