Setting up a PowerBI Gatewat Data Source and choosing FILE or FOLDER
Does anyone know if it is possible to use \\server\share instead of local drive such as C:\whatever ?
or does this Gateway software only allow connections to the local server where it is installed?
I want to find a way to connect to an internal fileserver share and pick up files.
Unable to connect: We encountered an error while trying to connect.

I can browse the internal location from the Gateway server. Not a DNS, port, FW issue!
