How to download file from server and save it with dialog

I am trying to download a file from a target server and upon receiving the file i'd like to get a dialog opened and let me choose where to save it.

So far i just used for simple download:

<a class="button" type="application/octet-stream"  href="http://localhost:5300/get" download>Click here for dld</a>

I have read that i need to use the FileApi in order to achieve this but still it is not usable for all browsers.

How can i manage to get the dialog opened ?
