Can not see the file list of the shared onedrive folder with Sharpoint Folder connector

I am having trouble with connecting shared onedrive folder.

 

I have access to the onedrive folder(folder B) that the other member(member A) shared with me

and I can see the files in folder B when I access it using web browser.

 

but, when I try to connect to folder B via Sharepoint Folder connector in Power BI Desktop,

I can not get the file list of folder B.

It only shows me one record with null values.

To investigate I tried to connect to another folder that member B shared with me and It worked.

I, member A and member B are in the same organization.

 

Does anyone have any ideas about the cause of it?

 

Thanks.

Unfortunately, clearing cache did not work. 

I use member A's account information for data refresh instead of mine.

Hi @YeongsukLee ,

 

Try uploading the same file to different location in sharepoint and access it from power bi desktop.

Hi @YeongsukLee Could you check wether you have edit permissions often null values are returned when you dont have required permissions may be you only have read only and also try claering the cache of Power BI

I've cleard cache but It still returns same result.(one record having null values)

Thank you.

I have edit permission for the folder that I want to connect to.

I will try clearing cache.
