No, you need to bring out the big guns. AD extracts, Purview, Scanner API. Low code/no code tools tend to be overwhelmed when confronted with massive amounts of data.
You may want to continue exploring other tools. While Power Query is very powerful and flexible it is not a "proper" ETL tool. Its sole aim is to prepare data so that it can be used by Vertipaq. There was never a design goal to load anything elsewhere.
Thank you for the VertiPaq hint, indeed helpful/new.

It means power platform apps/page/automate/va, eventhub/dataverse...?
Coming py/R/SQL/git, MS strongly adviced no/low-Code power platform.

Thanks again. Issue closed Please note: Process is exactly designed to avoid massive data.
The select process serves the purpose to select only those few files (data) of current interest.
There is just no singel point of truth SPOT, since files flaot on file server.This fact requires iterative (therefore performant) folder search (folder browsing).
Hypothesis: Many SMEs should face a similar situation, (i.e. money on the street?)
