Using Data Factory V2 as a data source for a file Errors (Failed to get contents)
hi DebbieE
Please refer to these documents and the post, it should give you help:

I used the top documents to set everyting up and I have followed everything correctly.
Regarding I added my account to the "Storage Blob Data Reader" role in the Data Lake and now the connector works perfectly! I assume you can do this with user groups, too. from the 3rd doc
I have just gone into Azure and Added Storage Blob Data Reader to my account and it works perfectly. The next step is to try it in a Data flow in Service.
Attemped the same thing in a data flow (Which is how I want to connect) and I have added the URL, Connected to my Organisational account. I keep hitting next and nothing is happening.
Im not getting any errors. It just keeps going back to the same log in screen. I wonder if I need to do anything else to get this working?

thats not what I want to do.
Apparently there is just no connector for Data lake Gen 2 to use as a data source within Dataflows and seeminly no plans to build one so I have voted it up in ideas.
