data source error while connecting a folder

[nagoor]

Hi All,

 I am getting an error while connecting the Data source as a "Folder" to do schedule refresh. I have installed gateway in my computer, but not able to connect the folder to do a scheduled refresh, where I am going to publish this one to my colleagues.

@nagoor,

Do mask sensitive data before uploading screenshot.

Check your user account in the Settings of your computer,  enter this user account(domain\user in my scenario) as Windows username when adding Folder data source under gateway, and enter relevant password of this account(ensure the password is correct). This way, you should have no issues setting schedule refresh for your dataset using on-premises gateway.

Regards,
Lydia

anyone know if it is possible to use \\server\share instead of 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.
