Download files using Selenium WebDriver and Java on Mac

Question

I have a web application that I am trying to automate using Java, TestNG and Selenium WebDriver. The application moves through several stages, and then the user needs to download the document.

I tried the listed suggestions here

and couldn't get it to work. I do not think that browseBtn.sendKeys(file.getAbsolutePath());will work in this case, since I am trying to do it on a Mac, and there is no cursor for the Browse button.

Below is my code so far, just wondering if anyone was able to successfully do this and how to do it myself (screenshots of what I'm trying to do, below):

    private void documents_UploadDocuments(String driverName) throws SQLException, InterruptedException
{
    /*
     * Upload documents to a request
     */
            Login.login_Requester(driverName);
            WebDriver driver = Login.driver;

            //Click My Requests Tab
            WebElement myRequestTab = driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div/ul/li[2]/a"));
            myRequestTab.click();

            Thread.sleep(1000);

            //Click Create a New Request
            WebElement createRequestBtn = driver.findElement(By.id("submit"));
            createRequestBtn.click();

            WebElement officialNameTB = driver.findElement(By.id("new-official-name"));
            WebElement createRqtBtn = driver.findElement(By.id("continue"));
            WebElement researchDataAccess = driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[3]/div[2]/form/div[2]/div/select/optgroup/option"));

            Thread.sleep(1000);

            officialNameTB.sendKeys("TEST_UploadDocuments");
