Collaborate on a shared Power BI Desktop File Using as shared Excel file as Datasource
I can't speak to Box connectivity specifically but it has come up before:
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Power-Query/box-com/m-p/119392
Understood on the cloud, I appreciate the additional details, and along the lines of what I've been trying to do.
I'm trying to do that through Box.com, a cloud based file storage solution similar to OneDrive but I can't get it to connect. I've tried using a publicly accessible box link to the file and just the main website to connect but it won't establish a connection to the dataset.
Any ideas specific to Box connectivity? I can't find any guidance on that after lots of research.
Thanks,
ROKRI
Thank you AlexisOlson , I have been looking for that answer for a looong time! Solved.
Your link took me to a response from wardt with a link to the Box Direct Link, pasted here for ease of reference: "Use the "Direct Link" (direct download link) feature. It is not available for free personal box.com accounts. You can read more here: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043697554-Configuring-Individual-Shared-Link-Settings"
Answer is at the bottom of the page where the link takes you. So relieved...
