• javascript
• reactjs
• react-router

• 2 Link is for "pages" in your router, if you want to send the user somewhere else use a regular a. – jonrsharpe Commented Oct 12, 2020 at 9:46

You can use <a> tag instead

<a href="https://s3.amazonaws./pdf/download.pdf" target="_blank" className={classes.btnText}>

That's how the {Link} works :)

Maybe use <a> tag instead ?

Yeah because Link builds all the routes from your home/root path which is localhost:3000 in local dev environment. So that's why its appending to that.

use hyperlink tag <a> instead
