In SharePoint 2013 designer I was giving the URL of the online site in the open site dialog box like:

https://onlysharepoint2013.sharepoint.com/SitePages/Home.aspx

Solution:
I removed the /SitePages/Home.aspx from the URL and it works fine. The URL will look like:

https://onlysharepoint2013.sharepoint.com

Hope this will be helpful.
