Hi TePe,

 

Can you show the detail error message or screenshot about the I/O error? What do you mean "however this won't allow me to upload my solution to the Power BI Service"? Please share detail information about the issue.

    Hi,

     

    this is the error I see:

    As I said I can map a drive to the share, then everything works fine. However mapping a drive is a local activity. A drive called i.e. "Q:" mapped to the network share won't help me when I try to refresh the data in the Power BI Service because it won't know the drive "Q:". So I think I need to have a direct link to the network share which doesn't work (see the error above). There might be a workaround like installing a local gateway which has the drive mapped but this would mean that when I refresh the data all files need to go from the cloud through my local gateway and back into the cloud...
