Description
Task: Implement a right-click/three dot menu option to download a file from BioViz Connect. To implement, pass the access token from the server to the client and have the client initiate an authenticated download. This will allow the user to download the file directly without requiring the file to be made public.
Note: Make sure files are downloaded and not opened in the browser.

There seems to be an issue with filenames with special characters. Can you look at that Chaitanya Kintali?
P.S. Check image attached to this issue
Download appears to be working correctly, but I would like two additions/changes:
1) Add a toast "Preparing download" that lasts for 5 seconds and then fades out. It seems like it can take several seconds once I click Download for the download to start (tested on Firefox). Good to give user some kind of feedback that the download is occurring.
2) Rearrange the right-click menu:

Closing issue.
Initially we tried to implement the download functionality using the download API. However, there was no way to directly stream the data to the user, which would lead to large volumes of data passing through our server. Instead, we have opted to make the files public and then use the public link to download the file.
