Web.BrowserContents only supports anonymous etc.. When connecting to web source

Trying to connect to a sharepoint file. But getting the error: Web.BrowserContents only supports anonymous etc.. 

 

Connection method: Web

Authorisation type: organisational

 

I have been able to connect before using this method but seems to not be working due to an update to power query/bi.

Hi @akhaliq7 ,

1. The new version of the Web connector automatically creates a Web.BrowserContents query. Such queries currently support anonymous/Windows/Basic/Web API authentication.

2. Consider Using Web.Page instead of Web.BrowserContents.

Reference: Troubleshooting the Power Query Web connector - Power Query | Microsoft Docs.

 

3. Consider using SharePoint folder connector.

I would recommend option 3.  It is the most versatile.
