    Thanks for the reply from audreygerred , please allow me to provide another insight:
    HI,PPStar

     

    1.First, the Workspace OneDrive feature allows Power BI content to be stored in OneDrive for work or school. This means that Power BI can connect to files in OneDrive every hour, and if any changes are found, your data sets, reports, and dashboards will be automatically updated in Power BI.

     

    2.Second, the Workspace OneDrive feature also allows you to configure a Microsoft 365 group of SharePoint document libraries so that workspace users can use them. This involves connecting to a file, specifying a URL, or connecting to a root folder.

    These features make it easier to share and sync Power BI content between groups, between different computers, and with colleagues.

     

    3.The following is the relevant documentation:

    Workspaces in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

    Create a workspace in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
