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

What I meant to say is if you have mounted Azure File Share on Gateway then you should be able to access this data source as Folder path.
Below link has details on how to mount it.
Mount SMB Azure file share on Windows | Microsoft Docs

There is no inbuilt Azure File Share connector available as of now.

  Hi,
  
  We can mount the Azure File Share on windows and can be accessed from the PowerBI Desktop.
  
  But in my case our PowerBI reprots are hosted in portal.
  
  Can we access Azure File Share from PowerBI Reports from Portal?
  
  Thanks
