Hi, @Dillipkr-3_ 

Please recheck the current credentials  and make sure the current account can access the sharepoint folder normally. If not, you need to apply for permission from the administrator.

Then refer to the document below to connect to a SharePoint folder from Power Query Desktop.

SharePoint folder 

Need to notice that if a filename contains certain special characters, it may lead to authentication errors because of the filename being truncated in the URL. If you're getting unusual authentication errors, make sure all of the filenames you're using don't contain any of the following special characters.
