OneDrive Power BI sync is not working and OneDrive refresh option gets disabled automatically
Hi SparshiJain ,
The problem you are facing is likely related to the fact, that original dataset in your OneDrive tenant was deleted/replaced. Even if the name is the same, the file ID is different and then the connection between OneDrive and PBI Service is lost.
If this is your case, you can try to look in to your bin and restore the deleted version. I am not 100% sure if the file ID will be the same, but it worth trying. Then go to PBI Service - Schedule refresh with OneDrive. Check if you can turn on the sync. with onedrive and test your dataset.
If this won't help I am affraid you need to create a new report with new url.
Let me know,

Hi Migasuke ,
Could you elaborate on a replacement of the original file in OneDrive? My understanding is that once the pbix is uploaded to PBI Service, all changes done to the pbix should be reflected in the PBI Service (with Automated update option enabled). Why do you suggest to restore the original file in order to reactivate the connection?
Recently, I've got plenty of previously uploaded pbixs that I had been able to change over months, but now I see an error "We are unable to locate the file on OneDrive for Business. Please check that the file exists in this location." The files do exist and other models based on pbix files in the same location has no issue.
