6 years agoHi hatahetahmad ,
Maybe you can use this connector:
(Use the root URL of your OneDrive for Business.)
Then we can combine all the files in the OneDrive for business.

I have also faced this problem due to the slowness of that connector and, for the time being, I have solved it as follows:
- I use one parameter to direct the connection to the OneDrive with all the data or to another that contains very few rows.
- I perform transformations in PQ by connecting to the OneDrive with few-row files to minimize slowness.
- Once all the transformations have been done, I modify the parameter to point to the final OneDrive.
- I'm in the cloud.
- I'm upgrading from the cloud thereafter, as it's faster than the on-premises upgrade.
- If I need to make new modifications to PQ I point again to the OneDrive with small files.
It's not the ideal solution, but it can help you while finding a better way.
Best regards.
