Refresh error when map data source to OneDrive Folders - OData response error: unable to read data
Hi, bigchippah
If you are trying to connect to a folder on the onedrive for business platform that someone shared with you, you need to make sure you have full access to the folder. Then you can use Sharepoint folder connector to access the data.
Please refer to this thread for more details.

Hi v-easonf-msft,
The folders I am trying to access are entirely mine and I am listed as "Owner." They have been shared with peers, however.
For what it's worth, this isn't an issue with initially accessing the files: I am able to connect to them in PBI Desktop. The problem is when I Refresh, either in Desktop or Service. Both of them fail with the "OData/connection forcibly closed" message.
In some of my basic research, it sounds like this is a problem (in my layman's terms) with the "source" location being bombarded by too many requests and cancelling the interaction. Does that sound possible/probable?
