Enterprise Gateway - adding folder as data source
My original goal in switching to Enterprise gateway was to try and fix a problem I was having using a Folder as a data source when using the Personal gateway. The folder I speak of is a synced document library from SharePoint Online that gets new csv files weekly from a webservice.
When configuring the Enterprise Gateway, it is not acceptig my Windows credentials and giving me the error I pasted below. The credentials I use to log in to my computer, are my O365 credentials- which are the same I use to access the Docuemnt library of where the folder is synced from.
So I guess I"m just confused about what I'm supposed to use here...Any thoughts are appreciated

Well, they are the same credentials and then they probably aren't the same credentials technically. O365 uses Azure AD as its authentication mechanism. Most organizations have AD on premises or you might have a local user account on your computer. It may look like the same format when you logon, but technically not the same credential. What if you switch your Windows authentication to the form: DOMAIN\userid?
So, if you logon with [email protected], you could try "company\first.last". If you have a local user account, I believe it would be WORKGROUP\first.last.
I tried that format (both), and am still receiving the same error. Does it make a different that we do NOT have any on premise Active directory?
If you go to your Settings | Accounts, what shows up as your user name? In Windows 10 this is right under your display name at the top:
It might be ComputerName\UserID
