Is there any construct that allows unified navigation of the one lake?

[marcoG]

In Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2,
I can access the root of my file system simply by connecting to this address: https://{adlsAccountId}.dfs.core.windows.net

How is it possible that in OneLake, which aims to unify access to company data, there is no single endpoint for accessing company data?

I found this endpoint:

https://onelake.dfs.fabric.microsoft.com/{workspace-Name}
but in addition to not being unique, but divided for each workspace, it cannot be used in Powerbi desktop.

I also found this construct:
DeltaLake.Table
Which can be used in Powerbi desktop but does not allow you to scroll through the file system directories but uses punctual access to the single table.

Is there any other construct that allows unified navigation of the one lake?

Hi @marcoG 

We haven’t heard from you on the last response and was just checking back to see if you have a resolution yet.
In case if you have any resolution please do share that same with the community as it can be helpful to others.
Otherwise, will respond back with the more details and we will try to help.

Thanks

Not sure if this will answer what you're looking for, I blogged on this recently: Exploring Fabric OneLake vs Azure Data Lake Gen2 Storage Accounts (serverlesssql.com)

OneLake is a logical concept really, under the hood it'll likely be a bunch of seperate storage accounts that you won't have access to.  You can use tools like Azure Storage Explorer to connect but you do need the onelake URL along with the workspace (container) name.
