Attempt to "Get data: from OneDrive - files do not appear

After importing 2 files to a workspace in Power BI from OneDrive for Business, the full OneDrive file explorer does not appear - only the two files that were previously imported.

 

How do I add additional files from OneDrive to the workspace?

 

OneDrive for Business files

    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?
