    Scott,

     

    In regards to using DropBox try this:

     

    1: Go to the file to share, and click "Share".

    2: Click "Create a Link"

    3: Click "Copy Link"

    - The url output should look like "https://www.dropbox.com/s/8lhbtky7gq973db/CARN%20122%282%29.JPG?dl=0"

    4: Replace "?dl=0" with "?raw=1"

    - The result will be that instead of the image being shown as part of the dropbox experience the image will be in a raw layer and shows inside PBI.

The issue appears to entirely an authnetication issue from PowerBI to rest of O365.  When I use Delve images the images don't work unless I manually connect to Delve once.  The token is then on my machine and if I refresh the report the images work.  This is an issue that Microsoft should really correct.   I will create a new thread/suggestion to see if they can get this fixed.

Hello,

Hi facing the same issue ...

What did you mean by connect to Delve once ? I'm already connect to delve on my explorer but I'm still blocked in Power BI.

(For more information I'm trying to get the profile picture using this kind of url : https://eur.delve.office.com/mt/v3/people/[email protected])

Best regards,

Reynholds.
