    Hi @Vinod Survase ,

    As mentioned, to restrict download options for documents such as download a copy, download button in SharePoint Online, here are some options:

    Option 1: Grant “Restricted View” Permission to Users
    To disable the download option in SharePoint Online, you can grant the “Restricted View” permission level to either a particular user or group which allows only read but not download.

    Option 2: Share a File with Block Download Option

    Unlike sharing a site or document library, You can share a specific document with download option disabled. To share a file,

    Select any office documents, Click on the Share button in the toolbar (or from the context menu)
    In the Share Popup, Click on “People in <Your Domain> with the link” or “Specific People” Option. Uncheck “Allow Editing” and enable “Block Download” option.
    Click on Apply, and enter your recipient name
