Least privilege required to downnload files from SharePoint online document libraries

From my tests, it looks like Sites.Manage.All is required on the Azure application, to use along with GetAzureADAppOnlyAuthenticatedContext() and download files from SharePoint online.

Can you suggest why Sites.Read.All is not enough to download the files. Is there any documentation which explains these permissions in detail?
