    Hi Fabz,

    Do you firstly connect to each CSV file using Get Data->CSV entry in Power BI Desktop, then create reports in Power BI Desktop? If so, in your scenario, you would need to utilize gateway to refresh your dataset in Power BI Service.

    However, you can connect to each CSV file using Get Data->Web entry in Power BI Desktop following the instructions in this article, create reports in Power BI Desktop, then upload the Power BI Desktop file to Power BI Service. After that, enter credential for each web query in Power BI Service and you are able to refresh the dataset without gateway.

    Thanks,
    Lydia Zhang
