hi&nbsp;&nbsp;Anonymous&nbsp;
For onedrive refresh, you could refer to this document:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/refresh-data#onedrive-refresh
&nbsp;
By the way,&nbsp;If the pbix file is published to power bi service by power bi desktop(Publish), there will no onedrive refresh in dataset setting&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Only pbix file is get data in power bi service , or get data from a excel in onedrive in power bi service, there will be onedrive refresh

&nbsp;
&nbsp;
and for newworkspace, please see how to set workspcae onedrive:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-create-the-new-workspaces#set-a-workspace-onedrive
