Dataflow SharePoint There was an error in the OAuth popup window

I'm trying to open Excel Files from SharePoint, by first connecting with SharePoint.Files( ) to my SharePoint directory (This part works OK), then filtering the file and opening it with the method:

Excel.Workbook(Table.SelectRows(Source, each [Name] = "My File Name.xlsx"){0}[Content])

But o this step, I get the "Please specify how to connect" notice, and when I try to login with my Organizational Account, I get over and over the same error:
"There was an error in the OAuth popup window (Session ID: ##############)"
I have tried on Edge and Chrome and still get the same...

Hi @Anonymous ,

What the Authentication kind do you use?  I viewed a similar thread. It worked fine when the user changed the authentication from "Organizational" to "Basic". Maybe you could have a try.

I cannot do that, once the only available options are Microsoft Account and Anonymous. I tried logging out and in again, and three different browsers, and no luck.
