How to import data from a file in Databricks' DBFS system into Power BI

I have a multiple files in Azure Databricks' DBFS file system and I want to read them into Power BI desktop. I have tried Partner Connect, Azure Databricks Connector and Spark Connector and all of these only allow me to retrieve data from the "Database Tables" file system. Any ideas on how I could solve my issue?

Thank you @v-yanjiang-msft. I tried using Azure databricks connector but faced a similar issue. I was able to solve the problem using Data lake gen 2 connector.
