I have setup the links to connect to individual files in One Drive.

However when I copy the link for the folder I get an error "The folder must be a valid absolute file path"

Thank you but I have already tried this.  I needed a solution that I could implement where the data is automatically updated in Power BI using one drive.  If I connect this way the automatic updated doesn't work

Hi @j_hob ,

By my tests, you could get the shared folder from OneDrive in Power BI Desktop with the steps below.

1. Get Data>>Folder

2. Select the Folder in OneDrive.

3. Click ok, you will see the files in the folder.

If you still need help, please feel free to ask.

Best  Regards,
