Can we access excel files available in some Sharepoint, using R? If yes, please let me know on how to do that?

We are planning to automate some excel tasks using R. For that, we need this
Even, we have tried Import dataset option, also.

Error: 'Permission denied', however we are having access to those sharepoint files.
Error using Import option: HTTP Error 401

I am able to access all my local files in R, but not the files in cloud.

Code:
install.packages("RCurl")
install.packages("XML")
install.packages("data.table")
install.packages("RMySQL")
library(RCurl)
library(XML)
library(data.table)
library(RMySQL)
library(DBI)
url <- "LINK WILL BE SPECIFIED HERE (Link is confidential)"
setwd(file.path("C:/"))
local <- file.path("new task")
download.file(url,local)
