How to access "Shared" folder on Sharepoint?

Hi,

 

I am able to connect Sharepoint to Power BI but can only view documents from the "File folder" or the ones that I am the owner of. I want to access the "Shared" folder and then pick the doc that I need to load. How can I achieve this?

 

Thanks,

Sailee

I was able to get access to the root folder and then copy the original file under "My Files" .

Now I can view the file when I connect to Power BI
