Is Google Drive Supported by PBI Desktop?

 

I have a Microsoft Excel file (.xlsx) saved on my Google Drive.

 

Is there a way I can use it as a data source in my PowerBI Desktop report, while it resides on the Google Drive?

 

Thanks!

For OneDrive, what type of connection do I have to select as my Data Source"?

Which link do I provide?

@RichFlorida 

Which file you want to access in one drive is the point!

If you are accessing the Excel just Select Excel option in power bi and give the onedrive link and access the data ! simple

1-I need to be able to connect to the .xls file in a way that would allow me to easily refresh data from Power BI Service without the need to republish my report.  

 

2- PowerBI Desktop does not accept the OneDrive generated file link/URL.

Google Drive is not directly supported , Google sheets supported

I think you want to access the data from google sheets , then use that directly!
