Why do Fileport links show a Download button in Teams?

Fileport's Teams app shows Fileport links in Teams and Outlook with the upload's name, size, number of files and when it expires, and Download and Open buttons.

Links show this way even where nobody added the app, unless your organization blocks it. A password protected upload shows no details until the password is entered on its page, and an expired upload says so.

Download opens the upload's page and starts the download, and Open just opens the page. A link posted before an upload changed shows it as it was, so open it for the latest.
