If you simply want to provide a direct download link for a file without the additional overhead of browser viewing and file preview, then download-links are the right choice for you.
To create a new download-link, navigate to the file you want to share, click the "Share"-button and select "Create Download-Link" from the drop-down menu.
In the popup you can select for how long the link should be valid and you can enter a name for the recipiant of the link for tracking the downloads in the logs.
Once you create the link, you will be redirected to the file view again and the link will be copied to your clipboard automatically.
That's it!
