> 💡You can either download a file in its originally uploaded format or choose to convert it into a PDF format and then download the same.

> 💡💡For users on our Pro plan, we also provide the functionality to download files related to Text Extraction. You can choose between downloading a Searchable PDF or the Extracted Text as a .txt file 

> 📓NOTE: You can only download docs where you are the Owner. To download a doc that is shared with you but owned by someone else, you must have the “Download and Print” right enabled. [Understand rights in dox2U](https://help.dox2u.com/en/article/understanding-role-management).
