[EleazarMG12]

Hola a todos en este foro, si alguein me pudiera ayudar con mi problema. sucede que

Un compañero de trabajo me comparte un folder(en su OneDrive) que tiene un power BI, para poderlo editar online, por el o por mi.

El problema que se presenta despues de unas actualizaciones de mi computadora, es que ya no puedo abrir dicho archivo con la aplicacion, cuando le doy esta opcion me abre un explorador de OneDrive (mi OneDrive). no se que hacer ya en esta etapa. solo tengo acceso a visualizacion en la ocion de abrir en la web. si alguien ya le ha pasado que compartiera su experiencia.

Hi @EleazarMG12,
Thank you for posting your query in the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

A .pbix file cannot be co-authored concurrently like an Excel or Word file. When multiple people download, edit, and re-upload the same file, the last upload will always overwrite previous changes, regardless of where it’s stored in OneDrive or SharePoint.

If multiple people need to work on the same report, the supported approaches are:

• Assign a single owner/editor for the .pbix file and use version control (file versions in OneDrive/SharePoint) to track changes.
• Publish the report to the Power BI Service and collaborate there (editing datasets, reports, or using deployment pipelines) rather than editing the .pbix locally.
• Split responsibilities like one person maintains the data model, others work on visuals using a shared dataset.

Best regards,
Ganesh Singamshetty.

Appreciate the information. downloading the file and editing was a solution but that means that the owner can make change and when I upload my file I can eliminate his changes. the other option is not possible because the credentials cannot be shared bwtween users in my company.

Hi @EleazarMG12 , 

Power BI Desktop opens shared OneDrive files with your personal account instead of the shared one after updates, limiting you to web viewing.

Check Power BI Account

In Power BI Desktop, go to File > Account. Sign out and sign in with the account that has shared folder access, then restart.​

Clear OneDrive Credentials

Open Windows Credential Manager, remove OneDrive/MicrosoftAccount entries. Restart OneDrive, sign in with the correct account.​

Download and Edit Locally

From OneDrive web, download the .pbix file. Open in Power BI Desktop, edit, and upload back to sync.

Enable Integration

Turn on File > Options > Preview features > Store files in OneDrive/SharePoint for better shared access.
