Using Web option to get data

I'm using the web option to get data, I can connect thru power bi and see the available files but I am not able to select the individual files and load the data. Any idea what could be the cause?

    Hi Rnaval 

    Web connector can not browse folders where it needs a direct URL to one file. Copy exact file link and paste that into Web connector or use SharePoint or OneDrive folder connector if you need multiple files at once.

Could you add a bit more detail?
The behavior changes depending on the exact URL type and the auth method Power BI shows.
