Access * DBF files from the network

Hello!
I need to connect to database files with DBF extension. These files are located on a server (remote). Follow the steps indicated by Microsoft at https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/samlester/2018/02/23/importing-a-dbf-file-into-power-bi/
But this works if I am local and I need to connect externally. Because they are files that are found on several servers, it forces me to find a way to connect externally in a network.
Anyone know how to solve?

    For sure! First of all you need a ODBC 64-bits DBF Driver go.helpbi.com/dbf and second is create Microsoft Power BI Dataflows for your datasources.
