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

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.

Best Regards,

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.

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...

Hello @Maha1 , 

 

You have to use the Folder Path and connect to the onedrive folder which you are looking to connect.

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