If you do not see the "Download" option, it's because you selected files that the OneDrive app does not recognize as pictures or videos. Return to the selection screen and de-select any files that are not images or videos.

3) Your operating system may prompt you about allowing the OneDrive app to access your photos. This will allow the OneDrive app to access items stored in your Photos library. This is necessary to allow OneDrive to save the images or videos to the Photos app. Choose your preferred option.
