Connecting to data source hosted on Dropbox
masplin, IT WORKED!!! thanks a lot!
No more credential errors, dropbox api v2 and PBI Service working as they should!
great!
Out of interest what were you trying to do? If you just put the path to the dropbox folder like normal then it shoudl stil lwork as long as the path is the one on which your gatewayis running. Theo nly advantage of the method i put is you can open desktop on various machines, where dropbox will have differnet paths, and still refresh them locally.
I need to connect dropbox cloud directly to PBI cloud. This way, me and my team will be able to use only the PBI Service to see all data that was edited by everyone.
example, user A may change all files 1, 2 and 3, also user B and C may change all 3 files.
once dropbox gets them updated, all 3 users will use only the PBI Service to see the updated changes.now comes my new question: how to make it open full folders, intead of individual files? something like folder option on PBI Desktop.
ah when you work that out let me know!!!
Have you tried Imke solution where you create a folder under Apps? That's what i was going to try next.
didn´t tried that yet... but I will try it soon.
