Hey @Anonymous ,
i have encountered this problem quite often, if I tried to access content within Sharepoint online, what helped me was doing this:
Delete all existing permissions that point to Sharepoint and contain the site name, do this for the "Data sources in the current file" and also for the "Global permissions".
Just hit refresh, if asked for your credentials make sure you choose "Organizational Account" do not choose "Windows". This at least is valid for resolving connections problems to "Sharepoint online".
Hopefully this helps to solve your issue.
Regards,
Tom
