Get Data from OneDrive (app workspace / group library setup

 

Good day

 

I have created an app workspace in Power BI service and now need to link to files on OneDrive.

 

However, I am encountering these problems:

 

1) When I select Get Data / Files / One Drive, this message comes up:

"OneDrive for Business
Save your work files to OneDrive for Business so they're always with you.
Note: If you've already signed up, it may take a little while to create your account. Please check back in an hour."
 
2) When I go to the ellipse next to the app workspace name and select Members, I am taken to OneDrive.  I select a file from File/Upload and the following message comes up:
"Save files here soon.  We are setting up the group library. It shouldn't take long."
 
I have been patient and waited several days but these messages are still coming up.
 
Would appreciate any assistance
Many thanks
Karen

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Based on test, I can get data from onedrive to power bi app workspace. Can you please share more detailed informations about this?

>>Save your work files to OneDrive for Business so they're always with you.

In addition, it sounds like you haven't turn on the onedrive feature yet. Perhaps you can check it at admin portal, turn on it if this feature not available.(normally, it will auto sign into correspond onedrive folder)

Hello

 

Can you be more specific with regards to the OneDrive feature you mention? I do have access to my onedrive with this account already. 

 

Thank you

HI @Anonymous,

 

You can check if your group is exist in sharepoint site.(that features means the onedrive subscription)

Normally, if you manage app workspace(members or other options) and you can correctly redirect/sign-in to sharepoint site, it means you have this permission.

Manage your app workspace in Power BI and Office 365

 

BTW, you can also contact to your IT to check these.
