Powerapps: Error Message - Connecting to a Data Source

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 5

I am just starting my journey on the power platform cohort 6. I am about to do my first exercise in Power Apps. I am trying to connect to OneDrive Business, it asked for my email and I used my learnwithpowerup.onmicrosoft.com email. Then I get an error message - "We weren't able to add this connection. Please try again". What do i do?

    Hi @edagili ,

     

    Could you access OneDrive for business using this account?

    With the excercies for Power Up Program. You should have created a power platform developer account. You will need to use those credentials to log into power platform, OneDrive or any other services.

     

    PowerUp program doesn't come with OneDrive and Power Platform subscription.

     

    Cheers!

    Hi @edagili 

    I'm a mentor on the Power Up program and @narayan225 is correct. You need to setup a developer account.

     

    There are some instructions on how to do this in the 'Getting Started' section of the LMS.
