UI Path or Microsoft made Download File from URL Activity

UPDATE: I was able to get this working with an HTTP Request activity after all. After configuring the request URL and parameters in the HTTP Request Wizard, I selected the “Download Resource” option at the bottom of the “Response” tab. After selecting a destination directory and selecting “OK”, it’s relatively simple to go back and adjust the file name with string concatenation to accomodate multiple downloads. [2020-04-07_15-15-37]
