I need to connect to a OneDrive folder/files to load the tables

Hello experts,

 

I'm creating an app in PBI Desktop. I have all tables and connections created in my local files, but in order to deliver the app I need to migrate all files to OneDrive of our organization and reconnect to the OneDrive path. I have noticed that my organization doesn't have the OneDrive for business connector in PBI, so I need to know if I need this connector to do this or if there is a workaround. I need to be able to do two things: 

  1. Connect to OneDrive with my organization credentials
  2. To enable every user with access into the OneDrive folder to connect 

Thanks!

If you have SharePoint available, use a SharePoint site instead. OneDrive is meant to be personal document storage, SharePoint for shared document storage. If you need it to be OneDrive, you can technically share the folder with your teammates, but it'll be attached to your account and deleted if you leave your organization.

 

Here's how to change the path of the file sources in your queries from local to SharePoint: https://youtu.be/wHzrBkbUBgM
