Where is the folder stored that you are trying to access? OneDrive, just some Web URL, Box, ?

Ah, I got it. Hmmm... So are you logged in with the same account that you installed Power BI Report Server with? Usually you have a service account that you use for installation.

OK, you have probably done most if not all of this, but double-checking might be a good idea:

I installed Report Server locally just to test features and ran into the same issue. The way I solved it (with some help) was to create a local Windows admin account on my machine (Settings->Other Users->Add Someone else to this PC, create the account, and then Change Account Type-> Administrator). Then, in a brand new browser window (had to use a different browser even), I logged into the Report Server URL and finally saw "Manage folder". Yes, finally! I clicked Manage folder, then added my normal Windows user (which is an admin on my machine) as a Content Manager and clicked Apply. Then I reloaded the Report Server web URL and voila! I can now see everything. I hope this helps you as much as it helped me.
