I look at similar posts and I made sure of the following:
I made sure all of these credentials on Services are configured.
On Desktop I made sure all of these are the same.
I also have this option enabled.
I appreciate any help. I wish things like this weren't so convoluted.
yes I agree with @lbendlin answer, you have to match privacy level across all sources. Hope below yotube videos will help you to solve the problem
In my originial post I stated that all privacy levels are the same. They are all set to none. Am I not udnerstanding something?
Privacy levels must match across all sources.
Are these true Web connections or are you accessing Excel files on Sharepoint?

I am accessing Excel files on Sharepoint.
Then you should use SharePoint Folder connections, not Web connections.
