Can Students Download OneDrive Files from Canvas?

We're transitioning to Canvas at our University right now, so perhaps this is something I've missed. We're intrigued by the idea of using OneDrive integration for file delivery. However, when students (and even me!) pull up the linked document it is essentially "read-only" with no way for students to download it or edit it or even copy it.

Is there a setting that I must change for students to be able to download OneDrive linked files (short of using a Collaboration)?

There is no way in Canvas to set the file type to something other than "Read-only" in Canvas. This may be something you can do in the One Drive settings but you would need to reach out to Microsoft for support with that. 

Use Microsoft OneDrive with your LMS
