You should know the name of the file, and the storage bucket containing it for the download. The filename may either be obtained
from a process, or located in the storage bucket in Orchestrator.
- Before designing your app, go to Orchestrator. Access the storage bucket containing the file you want to download. Copy the name of the file.

- On the MainPage, add a new Label control and configure it:

- Click on the Assign file to app variable field. Select the app variable you added in step 3. Add the variable to the field.
- Click on the Storage bucket field. In the newly opened Resources menu, add the storage bucket containing the file you want to download into the field.
- In the When completed section, add a Set Values rule.
- In the Items to set field, type
[variable_name].Name.- Set the downloaded file name inside the Value field. This will update the file name once the file is downloaded.
- In the When completed section, add a new Open Url rule.
- In the Url field of the rule, type
[variable_name].Url.
- In the Url field of the rule, type
When you click on the Download file in runtime, the file is downloaded in a new tab.
