"Download" and "View" offer the user two ways to interact with the content—either saving it to their device or opening it in a browser tab [2, 3].
It is helpful to include the file format (e.g., PDF, DOCX, ZIP) next to the size so the user knows what software they need to open it [1, 3].
Ensure the link is hosted on a secure server (HTTPS) to reassure users that the file is safe to download [5].
Use a clear button or underlined link so it stands out from the rest of the text [2].
