Path connection error

Hello everyone

Hope you are doing great

 

I developed a power bi dashboard by connecting to a desktop share folder (additonlly, I saved my Power BI report on the same share folder). I had an issue with my PC so IT had to format it. Now that I'm trying to update my report, but the app shows the following message: "Could not find a part of the path..."

 

Other coworkers who have acces to the share folder and the power bi file are able to update and work with it without any issues, but I can't

 

By any chance, do you know how can I solve this issue? I'm adding an attachment as reference

 

Thank you, best regards!

Did you map that Z:  drive on yoru new PC?  

 

By the way,  using on-Prem file shares is not a great idea, and using drives on your PC doubly so.  Find a share location that doesn't need a gateway, like a OneDrive folder.
