Is it possible to load data from "CSV file in Sharepoint online" to "Sql Server table" using SSIS without downloading the file to local folders. (I need to deploy the package to Integration Service Catalogs in Sql Server)
Could anyone help me on solving this issue.
You can use the Odata Source with a OData Connection to Access Sharepoint Lists with files. There are a couple tutorials:

I have a database that is stored on my local machine. I would like users on my network to access that database through power bi. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Well do you use the access file now with power BI? In ALL and in EVERY case WHEN you use a access data file, you are using a full + standard + legal path name to the access file.
So, if you want users to be able to open the Access accdb file, then the accdb file has to be placed in a folder that is open for use by anyone on the network. So, if you are using power BI with Access now you note that there is a FULL + legal path name to the Access file from that power BI system.
So, if you want to pull data from Access into Excel, then the Excel user needs to be able to see the accDB file in some folder and have rights to that folder.
So, if you want to pull data from Access into Word, then the Excel user needs to be able to see the accDB file in some folder and have rights to that folder.
So, if you want to pull data from Access into "your whatever application" that is NOW connecting to Access", then the whatever application and the users all need rights to the folder where the Access accDB file resides.
How would I load data from xlsx (local copy) into cloud9 IDE mysql - ? How would I set the path for the local hard drive, and what else would I need to do ?
Cloud9 cannot use local files. The only way this would work is if you were using a Linux machine that Cloud9 is connected to as an SSH workspace.
You can upload the file to the host by using File > Upload Local Files... . This will create a copy on the cloud host that can be used by your code.
I am hosting an Excel tool on OneDrive and sharing it with my team. I want to lock it up as a read only to ensure my team can’t delete it. They would need to download a new file locally every time they wanted to use the Excel tool. This Excel tool would be pulling data from Azure.
Would they need to connect to ODBC every time they wanted to use the Excel tool they downloaded from OneDrive or would it already be connected to the Azure database?
From your comments, if all you want is the Excel file to be read-only but not necessarily the data then you should use Excel to protect the sensitive sheets and restrict delete privileges on OneDrive.
You might want to consider Office 365 in lieu of OneDrive as it will have more security controls you can employ over the access controls on the file.

I need to export excel file/sheet data from Sharepoint(file is on Sharepoint site) and import to SQL using SSIS. Is this is even possible. What are the steps.
I know i can download these excel files from SharePoint site to a folder and then import to SQL, that's easy! but i need to know how to do it directly from Sharepoint site.
Thanks!!
If you file is stored in SharePoint library, you can access it as if it were on a network location.
Open SharePoint Library with your Excel file in IE browser.
Go to Library Tools -> Library tab.
In Connect & Export section there should be Open with Explorer button.
Click on it and you should get a Windows Explorer window. Copy the path from this window's header to SSIS Excel connection manager and you should be able to access your file directly from SSIS.
If the button is grayed out that means you are lacking access privileges. Talk to your SharePoint administrator.
