This is intended behavior. Please note that there's no anonymous access allowed for files stored in file storage. The access needs to be authorized. Since you're trying to access the resource without being authorized, you're getting this error.

One way of authorizing the access is to create a Shared Access Signature (SAS) on a file/share level with Read permission and then using that SAS URL to access the file.
