the best is to render a list of links:

<ul>
    @foreach (var doc in documents)
    {
        <li><a href="@doc.Url" download>@doc.Description</a></li>
    }
</ul>

Hi,

thank you for the reply.

Your solution works fine with Chrome only if I install/enabled the "Local file link" extension otherwise, Chrome doesn't allow to download documents from shared folder.

that how browsers work. typically you supply a server url (proxy) that can do a http download.
