Hello

I am using Aspose.Words Cloud SDK for Python for file conversion, and I can see it in the cloud storage.
How can I download the file, or even directly read the file with Python?

You can use DownloadFile API to download files from cloud storage and here is Aspose.Words Cloud SDK for Python sample code for reference.

remoteFolder = 'Temp'
localFolder = 'C:/Temp'
remoteFileName= 'revisions.docx'

#download file from storage
request_download=asposewordscloud.models.requests.DownloadFileRequest(remoteFolder + '/' + remoteFileName)
response_download = words_api.download_file(request_download)
copyfile(response_download, localFolder + '/' +"output.docx")

Thank you. It works, and the copyfile function is imported from shutil.
