Hi @rubylin,

They are power bi connectors for different exchange versions.(on-premise and online) You can take a look at following link about the difference between two versions of MS exchange.

What are the advantage of Exchange Online vs. Exchange On-prem?

I dont know the answer.

But when I tried Sharepoint List, I did not feel any differences as well.

My guess is that Online is dedicated for O365 while the 'regular' connection supports both online and on-premise.
