I cannot connect OneDrive Folder to Power Query. I tried to use Web connecter, it spreaded as HTML page. When I used SharePoint Folder connector I got the below error message:

You are using the wrong URL - take off the _layouts/15 bit. Also that first part of the path doesn't look right - it's usually tenantname-my.sharepoint.com, not clouddrive.tenantname.com, not sure if you just have a really odd setup or what the deal is there.

See my earlier answer about the url. Great to see both christinepayton and Anonymous agree with me ... 😬

dharmendars007 you assume op want to connect to the synced copy. If op wants to Connect to OneDrive directly, your solution won't work...

Yeah. Tricky. You may need to experiment. Try removing everything after your username from the url.
But, SharePoint, OneDrive and OneDrive for Business all heave their separate method...

Hi Maha1 ,
Agree with christinepayton, the URL you're using doesn't seem to be a standard URL. Where did you get this URL?
SharePoint and OneDrive for Business files import - Power Query | Microsoft Learn
If it's an encrypted short link, you may need to revert to the original link, as the connector doesn't support the converted short link.
