Describe the bug

When downloading a file (e.g. PDF , PNG) from a chat, the downloaded files are often empty (zero bytes) on the harddisk.

How to Reproduce

When you click on the file name, the browser opens and download fails because you are not logged in there. This results in a empty 0 byte file. No Error is displayed. When clicking on the little cloud icon, behind the filename the download starts in the desktop client and the download is succesful.

Describe your Expected behavior

Open/download the file with the filename link in the desktop client when "Protect Uploaded Files" is enabled, because in the browser the download always fails.
