Hi,
I'm working on a project that creates a map in the R script and shows it in Power BI. This is working, now I need to export the shape and the raster of this map. I create the files, but I can't find a way to make it available to the user through the online service.
Can anyone help me export these files through the online service?
Note: Power Bi does not support google drive package and does not have permission to access the local directory.
Thanks!!

Hi @edgarancioto ,
As far as I know, I do not think that it is currently possible.
If you need the source shapefile I would suggest create a hyperlink in the report to share this source file?
Best Regards,
Liang

"and shows it in Power BI" - where? In an R visual? in a custom visual? When you click the three dots on that visual, do you have the option to "export data" ?
Its a custom visual, but the data to export, isn't the data of the visual.
I need export files generated by the R logic (.shp).
