Issue with switching to Dropbox hosted files

$

I have been trying to use an excel model saved on sharepoint and connected as a datasource in Power BI Services.  While it works i have found Shrepoint ot be an absolutely awful file sharing platform, bueing extremely slow, unrelieable, poor version histroy management and poor delaing with conflicting copies.  i want to go back t ousing dropbox to store the underlying files as I know it is robust.

 

i uploaded my excel workbook to Power BI desktop as also experimenting with that as an authoring tool. I switched over al lthe file paths to the new dropbox paths and published a sample report to PBI Services. However I cannot edit the credentials as says the path not found

However thisis the correct path on this machine

Can anyone explain why this doens't work?

 

One related question. If I host a PBIX fiel on dropbox do the refresh and scheduled refresh functions on PBI services all work?

 

Thnaks for any advice

Mike
