Hello

I have a direct link to an xls file which link when I open via MS Edge, it downloads the file as xls after I have logged in the website/domain via a form.

I would like to download this file into my Excel directly but when I add a Connection, it seems to download the login webpage instead of the file despite having an active cookie in my MS Edge as I am able to download the xls from there.

Is there anything that I can do? I adjusted some settings like authentication method and privacy but none seems to work.

Thanks!
