I have Power BI Desktop Developer on Multiple computers. I build a test dashboard (test.pbix) on one computer and start working on my dashboard design and how I want it to work. If I need to switch to another computer, I have to email myself the test.pbix file to myself so I can continue to work on the other computer. I am new to Power Bi and was wondering if there is a way I can have a central save location that each computer can connect to the same location.
I have two work computers:
Computer 1 is my companies computer where I pull data for my company.
Computer 2 is the contract company where I pull data for them.
Both computers have different logins, but the Power BI Desktop uses the same login.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @TravisLS ,
Power BI Desktop is currently a free desktop application everyone can install right on his/her own computer for personal use. But for sharing and collaboration, we should consider using Power BI Service instead.

How should I collaborate and share dashboards and reports in Power BI?
