office365 - SharePoint online downloadable link

Question

we need to share the file from SharePoint online to customer as a downloadable link. the current SharePoint 'Copy link' option is making the opening of the file directly in the browser. is there any alternative way to make the SharePoint online file as downloadable by clicking on link.

whenever customer click the SharePoint online direct file link it should get downloaded and not open in a browser.

I have already tried by adding 'download.aspx' to end of the below SharePoint link but unable to access.

https://domain.sharepoint.com/:x:/s/[site-name]/[token]?dowload.aspx

Please suggest any alternative way to SharePoint online file link as downloadable.

thank you.
