Getting data from sharepoint folder

I am trying to get data from a sharepoint folder. Every time I try, I get an error message that says "access to the resource is forbidden". I saw that I should try deleting the permissions under data source settings, but I am still getting the error message. Does anyone have any solutions?

Hi, @Anonymous 
Do you use the correct authentication method and do you have actual access to that folder?
The correct authentication method should be Microsoft Account.

I am the owner of the Team and folder that the Sharepoint link is referring to and I did try Microsoft as the authentication. Is it possible that I would have limited access because of my organization's controls?

Make sure you put just the root address for that folder and then navigate through Trasnform Data to access your desired data.
