Data source hosted on Dropbox

‎07-05-2016 03:46 PM

Hi,

 

I am using Power Query in Excel and need to pull in some data via a query from an Access file on Dropbox. If I add the local version of the file, other users can't use the file b/c they dont have the same local file path to Dropbox as I do.

 

Is there some way to connest to the web version of the file on Dropbox? I tried, but it doesn't see the tables inside the database?

 

Any other ideas?

 

Thanks,

 Steven

Can you please look at my URL below and see if I did it correctly because it still says "authentication failed". What is the proper format of the filepath?

@sshweky URL should be as below and you choose anonymous method as you already have api token specified in URL

 

 

https://api-content.dropbox.com/1/files/auto/{FILE PATH}?access_token={YOURAPITOKEN}
