Now we need to add users to the group. So open up the group by clicking on it, then click New as shown on the screenshot above. You can even add entire groups — for example, the Site Members group — if you want to stop every site member downloading site content. We need to change permissions at document library-level to prevent the downloading of files.
So navigate to the document library where your files are stored. With default settings, everything in SharePoint inherits permissions from its parent. So your document libraries will automatically inherit permissions from the site itself.
To restrict the downloading of files, we need to break permission inheritance. As you can see, the group we created — Demo for Preventing Downloads — is listed here.
But, as you can see, the site members and certain users still have their previous permissions. Basically, if they could download documents before, they still can.
This will prevent everyone accessing the document library other than the users you added to the new group. You can download individual files from the OneDrive website by clicking them and then selecting Download from the menu bar that appears at the top of the file window.
No menu? This brings you a Zip file with the Selected folder and its Sub-Folders and its files. You can use this feature when moving one or more documents. You can drag and drop documents from one folder to another, one library to another and from windows explorer to the library. Jaep E. Jaep 1 1 silver badge 4 4 bronze badges.

Thank you! Thanks for your update. We are now doing investigation, we will post back as soon as there is any update. Sorry for the late response. I have test from my side with the following steps, you may have a look and see if they help you:. Note: this way only works when you are using SharePoint modern experience. The Download button still exists when you using SharePoint classic experience.
In the SharePoint site, create a new permission level which doesn't have the Download button from the library. I suggest you go to the library permissions page, click Check Permission from the ribbon, check your permission and other users' permission. Ensure the user only has been assigned that customized permission and doesn't have any edit permission. Based on my test, if a user only has the specific permission I created which doesn't have download permission, he won't see the Download button in the library.
Hi yes there is no other permission. Since you can check the library permissions, you have edit permission for the library, so it is expected that you can see the Download button for the files. I suggest you use a user account to access the library and check the outcome, or you may give the Library URL to one of your users and let him access that library to check the outcome.
