Hello! I’ve been using Make for a while now. I’m trying to switch from Google to Microsoft, and I can’t seem to read or write to an excel file. My microsoft connection is working fine, I’m able to get docx/excel files, but whenever I try to write or read from an excel sheet, I get a 401 error. I’ve read a couple threads, but none seem to be helpful regarding this.
Welcome to the Make community!
“you do not have permissions to open this file in the browser”
The most likely cause is the sharing settings for the Excel file might not allow you to access the file. Do you own it or was it shared with you?
Thanks!
And yes, I created it today 
I found the issue.
According to Zapier Staff ken.a on the Zapier forums,
Our Support Team created a bug report regarding the “You do not have permission to open this file in the browser” error. Our team is aware of the issue and is working on a fix. I’ve added your email address as another affected user. That does a few things:

This appears to be something has changed on Microsoft’s end, and any integration needs to be updated to connect to the resource.

I’m on it, thank you very much 
Can you please explain to me what do you mean by “any integration needs to be updated” ?
reautjorizing the connection won’t work.
This means that any module code that connects to the third-party service are broken, because they are outdated.
Only support can further investigate this issue.
Hi, I am having the same issue. Worked fine then when I tried today 401 error.

Is This something Make or Microsoft need to resolve?
