Hi All,

If i use the above url document is not downloading

Should we use only Full url to download the document or is there any to download with the encrypted url?

any help would be appreciated, Thanks in Advance!

Accepted answer
I don't think there is a way to download document using the url format you have given. This format basically used to open the document in editor.

Hi Vaibhav,

This kind of url(https://contoso.sharepoint.com/Shared%20Documents/Forms/Document.docx) i already tried this works fine, I want to know is there any other way to download the document using encrypted URL.

You need to simplify the URL to download the specific document.

For example here I am downloading document.docx file from Shared Documents library then I can use below URL format to download it

https://contoso.sharepoint.com/Shared%20Documents/Forms/Document.docx
