Connecting to data source hosted on Dropbox
Sorry, but I have no experience with the data gateway.
You might consider posting that question in the Service-Forum or in the Integrations-forum: http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Integrations-with-Files-and/bd-p/power-bi-services
I'm having the same problem as the previous poster (DN). It can't connect anymore once it's published to the Power BI Service.
It doesn't matter if it's your solution ImkeF or if I'm just doing a web connection through the string;
https://api-content.dropbox.com/1/files/auto/<path to file in app folder>?access_token=<access token>
It works fine locally and I can get the data source from both alternatives, but it's the published version that is erroneous.
Is this a scenario that they just haven't taken into account? That I'd actually like to publish my report to PowerBI and be able to refresh the report from there? It just seems silly to me.
