    AFAIK, you can't change the file path in this case. There's no such UI to change the datasource in Power BI Service, neither eixists any API to do the same thing. You'll have to download the pbix file, change the path to shared folder and then re-publish and overwrite the existing dataset.

     

    One exception is the datasets in DirectQuery mode, based on my test, the connecting string can be updated by the API Set All Connections.
