Hi @fredo75 ,

Make sure you're using the correct URL. It should point to a SharePoint site or directly to a file if you're connecting to a file. Authenticated login can be done using Windows

I did what you described, but still the same problem.Now the error shows:

We encountered an error while trying to connect.

Details:Web.Contents failed to get contents from ...(the link) (404) :Not found

This is the link, please tell me what to cut from it because i am totally lost:

You need to remove the :x:/r/ part. The link should be to the root. 

E.g.

https://mysharepoint.sharepoint.com/sites/MyTeam

instead of

https://mysharepoint.sharepoint.com/:f:/r/sites/MyTeam/
