Hi, I have excel files within a folder in Google Drive that I want to load into Power Query. I know how to load a local folder into Power Query but am finding it difficult to work out how to load a folder from Google drive into Power Query. The documents in the folder are all Excel documents not Google Sheets. Can anyone help me out please?

Hi Karen,

I'm not aware of any way to connect to a cloud folder.

The solutions I've found recommend you sync the Google Drive folder to a folder on your local PC or network drive and connect to them via the From File > From Folder with reference to your local or network drive containing the files.

Thank you Mynda. I thought that may be the only way to do it but just wanted to make sure.
