Ryan Litwiller Missing "Types" from External Data Source setup
Following this guide https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewHelpDoc?id=admin_files_connect_sp_online_xds.htm&language=en_US
1. From Setup, click Develop | External Data Sources.
2. Click New External Data Source. Then set the following options.
Label: A user-friendly name for the data source displayed in theSalesforce user interface.
Name: A unique identifier used to refer to this external data sourcedefinition through the API. The Name field can contain only underscores and alphanumeric characters. It must be unique, begin with a letter, not include spaces, not end with an underscore, and not contain two consecutive underscores.
Type: Choose Files Connect: SharePoint Online or Files Connect: OneDrive for Business.
I am trying to set up a new external Data Source for Sharepoint Online and OneDrive but when I get to step 2 the only option I have for type is "None" and "Simple URL" I have followed all the previous steps for the Salesforce Files Connect setup. I am an admin and am using the Enterprise edition of salesforce.
I have tried to open a case but it keeps getting closed informing me that this is a developer issue that needs to be answered here, but to me this is something that is missing in my salesforce implementation.

Thank

Shaija - I have already completed the "Create an Authentication Provider for SharePoint" that your link references prior to this issue.
Let me know if you figure it out
I don't see how this is per se a developer in so much as a configuration issue as there's no code that needs to be applied here, apex or otherwise...
Steve, Files Connect Cloud is absent from my System Permission settings -- has that been replaced? I'm experiencing the exact same issue. Has anyone managed to get this connection up and running? We're Enterprise Spring '16 Lightning Enabled
Maybe you haven't enabled files connect yet? https://help.salesforce.com/HTViewHelpDoc?id=admin_files_connect_enable.htm
