Yes, we can mount Azure File shares on Windows and then access it as a normal path in Power BI Desktop.

Below link has details on how to mount it.

Mount SMB Azure file share on Windows | Microsoft Docs

 

We do not have any inbuilt Azure File Share connector as of now if this is what you are asking.

    Hello,

     

    Thanks for the reply.

     

    Do we have an option to access the Azure File Share from the Paginated Reports hosted in PowerBI portal?

     

    Thanks

      You should be able to do it if Azure File share is mounted as data source at PBI Gateway.

        I don't see the Data Source type as Azure FIle Share in the available list.
