Connect to a folder using dataflows

Dear Community,

 

I am trying to connect to a folder containing multiple csv files. I was successful doing so in the Power BI Desktop environment, however I am not able to move forward in Power BI Services using Dataflows.

When I paste the file path, I am not able to go to the next step, as shown in screenshots.

If anybody went through a similar roadblock, can you please share a solution?
