Hi @Anonymous 

We could connect to OneDrive for Bussiness or Personal directly with Power BI Desktop.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-use-onedrive-business-links

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Integrations-with-Files-and/PowerBI-support-for-OneDrive-Personal-as-data-source/td-p/129125

However, it seems only successful for Excel files or folders

 

So, i provide the workaround for Question2.

As other questions, i am testing for them, i will tell you if there are any workarounds for them.

 

Best Regards
Maggie

Thanks for the Ans. So there is a workaround to do this but we con't connect to OneDrive For Business directly? Is that right?
