Power BI
Needs VotesAllow direct access to the subfolder of the OndeDrive for Business or Personal OneDrive.

Through the ability to connect to a Sharepoint Folder, we can connect Power BI to the OneDrive for Business root folder. This is excellent and very important, but insufficient. Most projects require that files be organized in subfolders, to which direct access is not allowed. There are ways to do this, but they are not efficient. I suggest that the solution be enhanced to allow direct access to the subfolders located in the root folder of OneDrive For Business or even Personal OneDrive, just as you can with folders and their subfolders located in Drive C on the desktop or laptop. This would be very important for anyone developing solutions for small and medium-sized businesses.

Yes! When connecting to SharePoint sites that contain lots of data, it is incredibly slow when Power Query needs to access metadata for all those files & subfolders and then you have to filter down to the specific file you want. It would be much easier if we could directly connect to a particular subfolder or file stored on SharePoint without the intermediate navigation steps in query editor.

It's crazy that this is not implemented yet, not everyone has databases setup and therefor this is a clear need.

Completely agree with Hugo, it is relatively easy to connect to a single file on OneDrive but iterating through a folder is a basic function that should be able to do on Power BI Desktop or through the service.

For OneDrive for Business, you can edit the query from SharePoint.Files to SharePoint.Contents. This will allow you to navigate to a specific folder without using filters which is extremely slow.
