Power BI Connection with Google Drive

‎06-26-2020 08:05 AM

How do I connect Power BI with a Google Drive that is larger than 30mb? I previously had a connection build that worked until the file grew past 30mb. I did this by taking the shared link and changing the last portion to export?format=xlsx but now I get an error.

Hi @Kmarn ,

 

You could try a custom connector here and check if it works.

If you want an official connector, you could vote for this idea:

@Kmarn Can you test the working of it using other smaller example file, want to rule out if the reason for failure is the size of the file.

@parry2k I have another file that is 2mb which uses the exact same method and it is still working perfectly.
