Error When connecting sharepoint folder to Power Bi

I get this error when trying to connect a SharePoint subfolder containing multiple CSV files.
The goal is to combine these files in PowerQuery. I can successfully connect to individual files, but not the entire folder.

"Details: "Microsoft.Mashup.Engine1.Library.Resources.HttpResource: Request failed:
OData Version: 3 and 4, Error: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found. (Not Found)
OData Version: 4, Error: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found. (Not Found)
OData Version: 3, Error: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found. (Not Found)"

any help is appreciated, Thanks

Make sure your user account has read access to the site level, not just the specific folders or library. It uses the site-level permission to "get" all info about files in the site before you filter down to a folder.

@Tejinder , Make sure you have access to folder and it parent. seem like access to files only.

 

Hope you are using sharepoint folder option

 

Try this too

Go to home Tab -> Transform Data -> Data Source Setting
