    Hi FreddieTheCat ,

    If your data source is online, you don't nees to add it to gateway as online source could refresh automatically.

    Please refer to this article.

Hi FreddieTheCat ,

It seems that you have problems when you add data source in Data gateway in Power BI Service.

The error message you provided is very general so I cannot specific the reason. 

Please confirm if your gateway is online firstly.

In addition, please check if your credential is correct.

By my test in my site, I could add the folder data source in data gateway successfully.

 

One more question, what is your org share folder? Is it online source or the on-premises folder? If that is an online data source, I'm afraid that you don't need to add it to data gateway. If that is the on-premises data source, I'm afraid that your crendentail should be your Windows credential. 

If you still need help, please feel free to ask.

Best  Regards,

Cherry

Hi  v-piga-msft ,

Thank you for your answers. I just reached out to our IT dep. The source is online.

Does this complicate the problem?

or There  are other ways of resolving it?
