Office 365 Sharepoint Connector - Add Folder/Subfolder to 'Site/Subsite Path'

Hello,

we want to connect in Qlik Sense Cloud to the Office 365 Sharepoint. We have already connected to the sharepoint, but know we got the question, if it is possible to point within the connection to a specific folder within the sharepoint.

Our question is, is it possible to add the folder and subfolder to the site/subsite path?

For example "Dokumente/06_Others"

We receive this error:

Thank you for your feedback in advance.

Regards, Patrick

From another post:

You cannot specify a specific Sharepoint list or item (such as a folder) when creating the connection. Only baseurl and subsite(s) can be used.

Access to specific lists or items should be governed within SharePoint as a best practice, e.g. give permissions to the specific users on the item(s) you want them to be able to access.

If you are going to create the connection (with shared credentials) and share it with others, create the connection using credentials with same permission set as those who's going to use the connection, as anyone using the connection will get access based on the shared credentials.

Another option is to use "User defined credentials" when creating the connection. User will then authenticate against SharePoint using their own credentials when using the connection and get access based on given permissions:
