Here’s how I’ve done it. I haven’t tested uploading every file type but the ones I have tried do work. This is using material design icons.

<?php if( have_rows( 'download_list_clone_download_groups' ) ): ?>
  <section class="download-lists">
    <?php while( have_rows( 'download_list_clone_download_groups' ) ): the_row(); ?>
      <article class="download-list">
        <h3 class="download-list__title"><?php the_sub_field( 'group_title' ); ?></h3>
        <?php if( have_rows( 'downloads' ) ): ?>
          <ul>
            <?php while( have_rows( 'downloads' ) ): the_row(); ?>
              <?php $attachment_id = get_sub_field('file'); ?>
              <?php $attachment_url = wp_get_attachment_url($attachment_id); ?>
              <?php $pathinfo = pathinfo( get_attached_file($attachment_id)); ?>
              <?php $filetype = $pathinfo['extension']; ?>
              <?php
                switch ($filetype) {
                  case "pdf":
                      $fileclass = 'file-pdf';
                      break;
                  case "jpg":
                  case "jpeg":
                  case "png":
                  case "svg":
                      $fileclass = 'file-image';
                      break;
                  case "pptx":
                  case "pptm":
                  case "ppt":
                      $fileclass = 'file-powerpoint';
                      break;
                  case "xlsx":
                  case "xlsm":
                  case "xls":
                      $fileclass = 'file-excel';
                      break;
                  case "doc":
                  case "docm":
                  case "docx":
                  case "odt":
                  case "rtf":
                  case "txt":
                      $fileclass = 'file-word';
                      break;
                  default:
                      $fileclass = 'file-document';
                      break;
                }
               ?>
              <li class="download-list__download"><a href="<?php echo $attachment_url; ?>"><i class="mdi mdi-<?php echo $fileclass; ?>"></i><span><?php the_sub_field( 'download_title' ); ?></span><i class="mdi mdi-download"></i></a></li>
            <?php endwhile; ?>
          </ul>
        <?php endif; ?>
      </article>
    <?php endwhile; ?>
  </section>

<?php endif; ?>
