Hi ScottFerguson,

In power BI service, if you want to get file located in OneDrive, please click GetDate->Files->OneDrive for business, then you can sign in your onedrive, you will get the files list in onedrive as follows, you can connect any file you want. I test using personal business. It's same when you get date from onedrive for business.



Please feel free to ask if you have any probem.

Best Regards,

Aneglia,

 

Thanks for your response. I am able to move files in OneDrive to a workspace without issue. Have you been able to modify a PBIX file saved to a OneDrive space and see the reports in service update within an hour? For example, adding a new visual?

 

If so, what does that workflow look like and is it what you expected?

 

Thanks,

 

 

Scott

    Hi ScottFerguson,

    Yes, I tested it before. Do you turn on the button (highlighted in red line) shown as the following screenshot below?

      Angelia,

       

      I attempted to add another OneDrive model but the folders would not appear in the workspace. I deleted all files and tried again - now no files appear in the OneDrive workspace in Power BI. The folders are all available in OneDrive - they simply do not appear for me to select files in the PBI workspace. Thoughts?

        Hi ScottFerguson,

        Before, you can get files stored in Onedrive, while no files appear now? The accounts are same? It's weird.
