Hi Greg_Deckler ,

On-premises data gataway (personal mode)

I did find the folder. And I also navigate to the new folder and then apply. Close and log in again. When I log in again it has change back to the previously folder.

The folder I want to change to is "C:\Users\AmdiSilword\OneDrive - Amdi Silword\Dokumenter\Power BI Desktop\HelloWorld.mez

The Gateway will use this one C:\Users\AmdiSilword\Documents\Power BI Desktop\Custom Connectors

 

Power Bi Desktop

When I'am in Power BI I in Get Data/Other I can only see the connector HelloWorld.mez if it's located in folder:

"C:\Users\AmdiSilword\OneDrive - Amdi Silword\Dokumenter\Power BI Desktop\

 

So Gateway is locked to one folder and Power BI is locked to an other folder

 

I need so Gateway and Power BI desktop look in the same folder.

 

Greg_Deckler I hope you can help me with this.

 

Attach the picture of my Gateway.
