@shrutiiyer ,

 

For Dropbox, please check if these posts are helpful: 

Import multiple files from Dropbox folder into PowerBI and Excel (via PowerQuery) at once;

Data source hosted on Dropbox.

 

 

Best Regards,

Thanks so much for replying @Icey I saw those two links last week and faced a few issues that I mentioned on the comment above. I came across a lot of people who are stuck in the same step as me and nobody found a solution yet.

@shrutiiyer , For one drive, refer this. There is a small change needed in URL
