Download a file from S3 - Laravel 5.7

Im trying to download files from amazon s3, and the code here works for files like docx, pdf etc... But for images, it just open a new tab, and shows the image there, no download started.

function downloadLink($docpath)
{
    $s3 = \Storage::disk('s3');

    return $s3->url($docpath);
}

I replaced the url method with download, but that dont work at all, it says err 404 page not found.

Best regards

The browser behaves that way by default, but you can force it to start a download by adding the following HTTP headers in the response from the server:

Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Disposition: attachement; filename="example.png"
