Unable to upload excel files in my One Drive business account as Data source for Power BI

$

Hi,

I have an organization (business) account with a Power BI Pro license.

I need to be able to upload excel files to the OneDrive of this account because:

- I want other users (from my organization or not, if I give them access) to be able to modify these files remotely.

- I want Power BI to take these files as a data source in the cloud.

This is what it looks like when I try to upload a file to the One Drive from this account (Image 1). It just says error when uploading.

This happens if I want to upload or create any type of file except if it is a Power BI dashboard.

The licenses that appear that I have are only the Power BI pro license (Image 2).

Can't I upload files from One Drive because I am missing a license?

What license should I get to be able to do what I want?

------------------------------------------

At the moment I am using a personal account to update the Excel data sources for the dashboard but Power Bi takes this data from a folder on my computer. This folder is shared on a personal OneDrive and other users can modify the files, but I see that if my computer is not online, the dashboard cannot be updated in the Power Bi environment by another computer, since it is my computer that runs the gateway I assume. This is a problem since the rest of the users cannot depend on my computer being online so that the dashboard can be refreshed.

I have tried to connect to this folder via the web with Power Bi but it is not possible. It seems that the credentials always fail. I assume that this can only be done through an educational or business account?

The url in this case starts like this: https://d.docs.live.net/

 

Thank you.
