Hi @suraj_6249 ,

One way, this can be achieved is by including a parameter to download the file. I am assuming you are placing your file in SharePoint

 

The Below are the steps

 

1. Create a button and name it as Export

2. Add a Weblink to the button like shown below using the Action dropdown

In the Web URL, enter the document link. At the end of the link, you can add &download=1

This will open the file in a separate window like a downloadable file as shown below

Have not tried this with other cloud storage options. But you can give it a try

Regards,
