Connecting to sharepoint folders individually

Hi, I am trying to connect to sharepoint folder to get data to my power bi report.
I havent connected to it in the past so this is new to me.
I thought it will be simple as similar as connecting to normal folder, but it doesn't seam to work that way or I am using wrong connection.
I am trying to use sharepoint folder connection and to connect to one folder.

It connects me to all the folders and all the files simultaniously.
Anyone know of any solution?

Thanks

@pankajnamekar25 I tried to do what you suggested, but when I try to expand I get this error.

I think I worked it out.
I needed to add my access permissions to share point site level.
