Thanks for the reply. The one for the browser does not open, I looked at the one for the node environment but the problem is, that I do not have FileBinary for example and name is only accessible in my case with response.result.name. Is it due to the different methods we use?

Apologies, I've fixed the first link.

 

Depending on the type of environment, the file data itself will be available in either the object's 'fileBlob' or 'fileBinary' property.

    Thanks, if I understood the example correctly. The shown method downloads the file from a url but this would be different from my usecase. I want to download it directly from inside a folder to a local folder in my project. For example if I log the response I am getting I can see the FileBlob in the console. But I can not access it from my code to do something like this for example: result.FileBlob what could be the error in this?

      Yes, those examples happen to use the sharingGetSharedLinkFile method, but accessing the result works the same way as filesDownload.

       

      As for the latest issue, I see you opened a new forum thread and GitHub issue, so I'll follow up with you there.
