Custom Connector folder not visible

Hi,

 

I want to add a custom connector. However, there is no folder called custom connectors in my Power BI Destop Folder. Reinstalling did not help. The Custom Connector preview options is also not available in Power BI options settings.

 

Please let me know if there is a workaround for the same.

 

Thanks,

HV

Hi @Anonymous ,

Hi @Icey 

 

Thanks for the links. However,

Most of this solutions tell me that I should put my mez file in Custom Connectors folder in the following path - Documents -> Power BI Desktop -> Custom Connectors.

 

But I do not have any such folder. Do I have to create one?
