Download shared folder from OneDrive business

Need to give a client access to DOWNLOAD a shared folder on my OneDrive business account. The client can see the files and even edit documents but cannot download the folder.

I thought this would be simple and similar to Dropbox. All I want is for the client to "download" the folder so that they can have a local copy of the data. Seems like a simple request that is turning into a difficult problem.

I have shared the folder with the client and given them "edit" rights.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

If the user doesn't have a OneDrive Business account will they still be able to "download" the files with a standard OneDrive account?

Consultant -> OneDrive Business into Client OneDrive (non-business)

What makes it worse is that my client doesn't use OneDrive, now they may have to signup for an account.

They WILL need a Microsoft ID login (such as Hotmail) in order to gain access to the files.

Thank you for all of the great feedback and quick responses. After reading Vasil Michev's comments I realized that OneDrive Business is tightly integrated to SharePoint. This helped me find a solution to the problem.
