If the file has DRM, you will receive the .acsm file while you will need either ADE or calibre/ACSM plugin to download. If the file does not have DRM, you will get the .epub file. If the file has DRM, you will also need to have the DeDRM plugin to remove DRM.

If NetGalley books are treated the same as Kobo's Kobo Plus ebooks, the download option will not be there. You can download it with the Kobo Desktop app or by syncing to a Kobo ereader or Kobo's mobile app.

I've attached images of the options I see when clicking on the ... at the end of the books entry in Books and a couple of book entries in Books.
I get the options on the right, without the download

Checking my Kobo account, they aren't available to download via ADE. But I can download them with Kobo Desktop and decrypt them with Obok.
Maybe it is because I am in Europe? I can see the book in Kobo desktop (which was unavailable over the website). However, it is blocked. The message says I should log out and try again. I did and it didn't work.
