Hi @abhishek_123 ,
Please try this:
Launch("https://<domain>.sharepoint.com/sites/<Site Name>/_layouts/15/download.aspx?SourceUrl=/sites/<Site Name>/"&ThisItem.'Full Path')
For example:
Hope this helps.

This shows a error. My files are inside the shared documents
Yes, my test and codes work well for the sharepoint document files.
It looks like that you defined a wrong <SiteName> and <Domain> in the launch URL. Could you please share the code in your scenario?
When you open the sharepoint documents page, you can find the link shown as below
Hi @v-siky-msft I have One gallery connected to sharepoint documents which as a download icon, onSelect porperty of the icon I used the code which you suggested. I found the issue is when I Filter the Documents in items porperty of Gallery and click on download icon it opens a new tab and throws File not found error.If I directly pass the Documents without filter in gallery items then the file gets downloaded properly, but in my requirement I have to filter the documents as per the given path:Eg: Filter(Documents,'Folder path'="Some Path/")Not sure why this happens, If you find a solution please let me know.
Could you share two complete launch links? one for success, one for failure.
I want to check if there is any difference between two link.
Hi @v-siky-msft There is no change in link code, only change I make is with the filter in items property of gallery even This.path returns Exactly same path for both the scenario.You can test in but just adding a filter to the galley and then try the link to download
Yes, I have tested, and it all works perfect. Please see the GIF.
I find the error only happens when you are trying to download the Folder.
Hence, I think you need to provide more information to help me reproduce your issue.
Hi @v-siky-msft I found the issue was the folder name had "&" symbol in it when it is passed in url it shows error.My folder name was "Logo & Branding", this was the issue and than i changed it to "Logo and Branding" Now it workes fine,
Thank you for helping
EDIT: I solved my own problem, in the second 'Site name' I didn't actually have the site name, I had the folder name!
Hi @v-siky-msft ,
Sorry for hijacking this thread however I cannot get this to work at all. I've created my URL as you've suggested above but I am still getting an error message.
I may need a slightly different solution because I am pulling my sharepoint files from a flow rather than directly from the sharepoint site itself but all the information is there as you have above.
Please see my URL below:https://<domain>.sharepoint.com/sites/<site name>/_layouts/15/download.aspx?SourceUrl=/sites/<site name>/<folder name>/<file name with extension>
Its work fine... just does any one have the solution to download folders using this??
