Answer 1

Make a route that downloads the invoice.

Then Action::redirect('invoice') to that route

Route::get('invoice', function() {

    $path = auth()->user()->latestInvoice();

    return response()->download($path);
});

Answer 2

You can use Storage::url() function. For example :

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;    
...    

class YourAction extends Action
{

    public function handle()
    {
        return Action::download(Storage::url('folder/filename.xxx'), 'Name.xxx');
    }
}

Note :

When using the local driver, all files that should be publicly accessible should be placed in the storage/app/public directory. Furthermore, you should create a symbolic link at public/storage which points to the storage/app/public directory.
